I extracted this part from my previous article MovableType Successfully Installed on Windows XP. From my log file, I found lots of my visitors came to my site with search keyword "Install Pearl on Windows XP".
Install Perl on Windows XP
Download ActivePerl for Windows XP from ActiveState. At the time I downloaed, the version was ActivePerl 5.6.1 build 633.
After registering my user information, I choosed WIndows MSI package, which is 8.31M in size.
It took me about 2 minutes and 51 seconds to download - thanks to the broadband provider - China Great Wall Broadband Corp[Chinese site]. I haven't dreamed of downloading files larger than 5M in 10 minutes before.
Install the MSI package. There is no any problem during the installation. I accepted all the defaul settings expect changing the default location from c:\Perl to c:\Program Files\Perl. I believe it is always good to follow the Windows convension instead of seeking for a place in root directory of C:\. This makes the disk hard More
To be honest, I don't know too much about Perl. However, to make the best weblog system work - Movable Type, I installed Perl onto my Windows XP machine from scretch. I believe I am not alone to install MT to Windows XP machines - although I believe there will not be too many people doing so - so I'd like to record the steps for other's reference. It is also a good resource for myself if I need to rebuild the server.

Hi my fellow MovableType users, after using MovableType for more than one year, I want to keep a record of my current MovableType configuration. Hopefully, it will be helpful to other MovableType users. (Yes. I hope it will be as helpful as my first blog entry of MovableType Successfully Installed on Windows XP)
This Guide
The first reader for this guide is me. In case my MovableType corrupt again, I will have to reinstall the whole MovableType system by following this guide. This can also be the guide for you to setup the MovableType from ground-up exactly like this site.
MovableType Package
Download MovableType 2.64 from MovableType.org. I will choose the "Full Version" option instead of "Full Version, with Libraries", since the libraries are really HUUUGE.
Following the instructions and maybe refer to MovableType Successfully Installed on Windows XP) to make sure the MovableType 2.64 up and running on your site. I was using MovableType 2.63 and upgraded to 2.64 without any More
I got ROSS's email on DB_File Error this morning.
Hi Jian Shuo,
I have seen your instructions for installing Moveable Type on Windows XP and have come across a problem. I have followed the instructions exactly but when I try and install DB_File, I get the error:

Para ser honesto, eu não sei demasiado sobre o Perl. Entretanto, para fazer o mais melhor sistema do weblog trabalhar - tipo móvel, eu instalei o Perl em minha máquina de Windows XP do scretch. Eu acredito eu não estou sozinho instalar a TA às máquinas de Windows XP - embora eu acredite que não haverá povos demais que fazem assim que - assim que eu gostaria de gravar as etapas para outra referência. É também um recurso bom para myself se eu necessitar reconstruir o usuário.
