ActiveState perl does not differ all that much anymore from Strawberry Perl
You can NOT install mod_perl via your cpan client because you'd need
to also compile it against Apache, and you can't compile Apache with
MinGW's compiler which is bundled with StrawberryPerl.

The best way to go on Win32 is to download Steve Hay's precompiled
binaries for Strawberry Perl which are available here; instructions
are inside the archives:
