Ummm - Cygwin. Yes it has perl in it but I took it all out and plumped for Xampp. I guess I am just trying to take the easy way out in getting RT up in XP. In Cywin I get all the way to installing RT via `configure`, but fails on a couple of Cpan module versions being > config list. My frigging with that got no where. So Xampp is just another way to gat at RT.
