Win95 / Win98 / WinME / WinNT / Win2000/W2K / WinXP (Win32) Try first win32.perl.org. Starting from Perl 5.005 the Win32 support has been integrated to the Perl standard source code distribution. But if you insist on a binary: * ActivePerl (Perl for Win32, Perl for ISAPI, PerlScript, Perl Package Manager) * Strawberry Perl, A 100% Open Source CPAN-capable Perl for Windows that works exactly the same as Perl everywhere else (includes Perl for Win32, MinGW, dmake, CPAN preconfigured, libwin32, Win32::API, PPM, PAR, Expat/XML::Parser). * Vanilla Perl, Experimental/unstable core-Perl-only port used for MinGW-based distribution R&D (includes Perl for Win32, MinGW, dmake) * Apache/Perl (binaries for both Perl-5.6/Apache-1.0/mod_perl-1 and Perl-5.8/Apache-2/mod_perl-2) * CamelPack Installer for ActivePerl, Dev-C++, and nmake * DeveloperSide.Net (compiled under VS.NET and includes the latest versions of Apache2, PHP, MySQL, OpenSSL, mod_perl, Apache::ASP, and a few other components) * IndigoPerl (Perl for Win32, integrated Apache webserver, GUI Package Manager) * niPerl (MSI installer, Win32::GUI, Win32::GUI::XMLBuilder, Documentation Viewer, WGX, PAR ready, built-in SciTE editor) * OptiPerl (CGI and console script, IDE with syntax highlighting and debugger, query editor, emulated web server, code completion, hints, context sensitive help, code librarian, many included tools) * PXPerl (compiled with Intel C++ Compiler for maximum performance, lots of modules already installed, with Pugs and Parrot binaries, lets you install any other module from CPAN)) * SiePerl for Win32 by Siemens, contains several modules * Prebuilt Perls by Rich Megginson, a special installer is used. These two are very obsolete and no more maintained or updated. Use only if you know that you need these. * Perl (5.004) for Win32 for x86 Contains many useful additional modules. README * Perl (5.004) for Win32 for Alpha Identical to the x86 one, except for the target CPU. README If you want to compile Perl for Win32 yourself, only the Microsoft Visual C/C++ is actively supported, but if you want to pay for your compiler the also Borland C++ Builder Studio should work reasonably well. MinGW is a free option that also has been known to work. The Open Watcom, the Digital Mars, and lcc compiler are available (the last one for non-commercial use only), but there are no reports of Perl being built with them (patches welcomed by perl5-porters).
