If you are developing CGI for web use, you will need both a
perl binary and a web server installed on your laptop. This,
even, will be of limited usefulness if you do
any
external calls, like pipe to sendmail, or rely on system
dependent structures (like Unix socket naming or permissions).
However, if you can do your development work without those
things (testing subs or modules, for instance), you can get
the Windoze binaries for Perl by going to
Outside Links and
downloading the binaries from ActiveState.
If you need the web host to work on CGI stuff, there is a
Windoze port of Apache available that will run on almost any
'doze version.
