Definitely Strawberry Perl: it is free-as-in-beer, open-source, free-as-in-
speech, community-driven, and allows you to install stuff from CPAN without
having to resort to a lot of proprietary and costly software from Microsoft.
You should make use of the latest version of perl 5 available for it - namely
5.12.x , as 5.10.x was recently end-of-lifed, and there's now perl-5.14.x.
