Hello pryrt and ++ my friend for this updated tutorial!

just some minor things from my part.. In the Strawberry Perl section I'd invert the paragraph position: first the plain simple way using cpan client, then the make method that I consider less frequently used and more hackish. Users used to windows rarely understand making things and also installing something in the command line is considered a dangerous journey.

Also some cpan frequently used interactive commands, in a pseudo session, as example can be a benefit for win32 users. For example:

cpan> # to install Some::Module just type: cpan> install Some::Module # to see if there are updates for a module use 'r' cpan> r DBI ... Package namespace installed latest in CPAN file DBI 1.637 1.643 TIMB/DBI-1.643.tar.gz # to upgrade some module to the latest version use 'upgrade' cpan> upgrade DBI

I dont know if it is worth to mention that Strawberry puts its own mirror as first one in the cpan configuration:

cpan> o conf urllist urllist 0 [http://cpan.strawberryperl.com/] 1 [http://www.cpan.org/]

..and for it I hit: LWP failed with code[500] message[Can't connect to cpan.strawberryperl.com:443]

Minor editing nitpick: it seems you are using the wikisyntax for the monastery: if so after the single quote you cannot have any char: 'cpan -i Some::Module'. does not work, you need good old tags if you want the dot: <c>cpan -i Some::Module.</c>
