[thelist] Easy ways to set up Perl?

Right,

I don't think I'm completely thick, in fact I've been looking at Perl and it
looks simple enough to code in.

But I can't for the life of me figure out how I'm supposed to set up the
compiler. I've downloaded Activeperl from Activestate.com which I've been
told will do the job just fine, and I've clicked the .exe and installed it,
but there seems to be a fair bit of Command line path-setting or something
to be doing. I just don't know.

I'm currently working on Win98 and hoping to pop my cgi-bin into my Personal
Web Server folder on my desktop machine. As soon as I get my IIS set up to
parse the ASP rather than just displaying it on the NT Server here, I'd hope
to install it there instead, but for the mo it's to be on my desktop PC.

Anyone?
