Perl for Windows is actually very easy to install. I forget where I got my copy but there are some neat things out there that run on it (ASSP, in my case). Think of it as another weapon in the arsenal.
Active Perl is the most common I think... http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/
I myself use both SA and Declude, and am very happy with both. Needless to say, SA is quite a bit harder to set up, and for people that don't have the *nix experience, there can be a bit of a learning curve.
I know before I became fluent in FreeBSD, I was scared to death to install Perl and rely on a mostly *nix app with no commercial support on one of my most important servers... But I took the plunge, and haven't looked back... as a matter of fact, after using Perl just a little bit, I decided I liked it a lot, and have done some in-house scripting that has made my live as an admin much easier...
