In Victoria, BC, Canada, I just signed up for Shaw's internet service. I have my cell for phone, and do not paid for a land line. Shaw called me (on my cell) three times in the first few months about getting TV service until I told them to stuff it and remove me from their call list.
BONUS - when you are getting internet and not cable tv, they need to activate the latter channels (100 -> 110 or so) in order for the internet to work, so you get those free, plus whatever your tv gets from normal antena reception.
With that + the interwebs, who needs to pay for cable anymore?
at OSCON this year, I seem to recall a talk on "Strawberry Perl" http://strawberryperl.com/ - apologies as I can't remember the developer's name, but basically if I recall correctly this is meant to be a quick easy way to get perl working on Windows boxes, fully CPAN compliant. I believe he was working on "Chocolate Perl" as well. Not sure if this will work with what you want but it should be a start.
The problem with active perl is that it is no longer being supported.
