This is an excerpt from the latest version perlfaq2.pod, which
comes with the standard Perl distribution. These postings aim to
reduce the number of repeated questions as well as allow the community
to review and update the answers. The latest version of the complete

2.2: How can I get a binary version of perl?
If you don't have a C compiler because your vendor for whatever reasons
did not include one with your system, the best thing to do is grab a
binary version of gcc from the net and use that to compile perl with.
CPAN only has binaries for systems that are terribly hard to get free
compilers for, not for Unix systems.
Some URLs that might help you are:
http://www.cpan.org/ports/
http://www.perl.com/pub/language/info/software.html
Someone looking for a perl for Win16 might look to Laszlo Molnar's
djgpp
port in http://www.cpan.org/ports/#msdos , which comes with clear
installation instructions. A simple installation guide for MS-DOS using
Ilya Zakharevich's OS/2 port is available at
http://www.cs.ruu.nl/%7Epiet/perl5dos.html and similarly for Windows
3.1
at http://www.cs.ruu.nl/%7Epiet/perlwin3.html .
Surely a mention of ActivePerl is appropriate here.
