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
perlfaq is at http://faq.perl.org .

2.2: How can I get a binary version of perl?

For Windows, ActiveState provides a pre-built Perl for free:

http://www.activestate.com/

Sunfreeware.com provides binaries for many utilities, including Perl,
for Solaris on both Intel and SPARC hardware:

http://www.sunfreeware.com/

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.

The perlfaq-workers, a group of volunteers, maintain the perlfaq. They
are not necessarily experts in every domain where Perl might show up,
so please include as much information as possible and relevant in any
corrections. The perlfaq-workers also don't have access to every
operating system or platform, so please include relevant details for
corrections to examples that do not work on particular platforms.
Working code is greatly appreciated.

If you'd like to help maintain the perlfaq, see the details in
perlfaq.pod.
