You might have been right five years ago, but not now.
Most CPAN modules can be instaled under Windows just like anywhere
else. The only problem is that the base install of Windows doesn't
contain a C compiler, but 1) you don't need it for Perl-only modules
(ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Softlib/MSLFILES/nmake15.exe is enough) and
2) you may use the compiler that comes with cygwin or some others.
Convert::BER is pure Perl so if you are using ActivePerl, download
the nmake, unpack the .tar.gz into a temporary dir and run
perl Makefile.PL
nmake
nmake test
nmake install
and you should be fine.
