It's definitely the best. Both well integrated and documented specifically for the Windows platform. Highly cross-platform compatible, with excellent Windows-specific modules and many of the standard internet modules, including Mail/FTP/NNTP, etc. I've personally tested and used it extensively in various production environments and have found it to be the most stable perl available.

www.activestate.com has a FAQ for their Package Manager or http://www.netaxs.com/~joc/perlwin32.html which has a nice listing of Win32 resources including modules. See similar questions...

There should be little difference between running Perl on the two operating systems. You should watch for the following, though: Some functions that work on Windows NT reportedly do not work or are buggy on Windows 95. An example is flock(). Finally, many helpful programs that are available on Windows NT are not there on Windows 95. hostname, for example, is not available on Windows 95. See similar questions...

There are a few Perl-scripts included in the SBaGen distribution that generate calculated sequences for SBaGen to run. Perl was used because it is easier to generate values for the sequences this way than calculate them by hand and fill them in each time. You could use VB or any other tool that is handy if you wish to generate your own calculated sequences. However if you want to run the provided Perl-scripts on Windows, you'll need to install Perl.

Install ActiveState ActivePerl and then the ActivePerl .ppm module included in the Net-SNMP binary available from the Net-SNMP web site. If you compiled your own version of Net-SNMP, see the perl/README document for instructions on compiling the Perl modules. Download the Net-SNMP 5.1.2+ source and compile using Cygwin as described in the Net-SNMP README.WIN32 file. See similar questions...

However with some help from the Windows NT resource kit you can make it do so - there are some minimal instructions online below: GoneCrazy was kind enough to send complete details of how to install this server as a service on Windows using the free (lite) FireDaemon tool: See similar questions...

You can run your Perl scripts as Windows NT Services via a program called srvany.exe, which comes with the Windows NT Resource Kit. Once srvany.exe is installed, read the srvany.wri file which should be with it. This document will explain how to set up registry entries for your new service. See similar questions...
