Installing Perl for Windows
 
 

Some Windows 95/98 users may require an additional download called DCOM.  If you need DCOM then Perl will alert you during installation.  Simply abort the installation, download and install DCOM using the appropriate link below:

DCOM for Windows 95           DCOM for Windows 98
If you find it necessary to install DCOM, reboot your system after doing so before re-attempting to install Perl.
After setup, delete the Windows Installer and Perl installation files from your desktop as they are no longer needed.
