If you do not need the shebang line, chances are that perl is included within the System Path (right click on "My Computer" > "Advanced" > "Environment Variables" and then see the Path information.
Chances are that the ActiveState installer created the path entry for you. So the guy who said that the program is in the registry is correct. Having the perl.exe in your System Path allows you to execute "pl", "cgi" or whatever mapped extensions that are perl programs.
At least that is how I understand it. If I am mistaken, I would be more than happy to be corrected.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
