There are, AFAIK, two major Win32 Perls:   ActiveState and Strawberry.   I believe that it is safe to say that Active is generally oriented toward people who are perhaps more used to “the Windows way of doing things,” whereas Strawberry might be more satisfactory if you are accustomed to using the cpan command-line command.   “TMTOWTDI.”   Both of them seem to be quite successful in their objective of bringing Perl easily into the Win32 environment.
