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.

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.
