Both NT4.0 and Windows2000 Server Resource Kits contain a version of Perl.
Install the kit or just Perl from the kit. There are instructions on the
registry entries that need to be added/modified.

Also check out ActivePerl http://www.activestate.com/ for another version
of Perl/PerlScript.

Perl on NT does not have all of the features that it does on Unix/Linux,
so check the differences! You don't want to spend a lot of time trying to
make the code work.
