Win32::API is not needed to run perl under windows. Win32::API will
give you access to certain Win32 API function calls. It is certainly
not needed for anything that's not windows-specific.

Only you can answer that. Activestate Perl is runnable out of the box.
You only need to download and install modules as they become necessary
(or just helpful) for the task at hand. You haven't told us what your
task at hand is yet.

I have no idea what Tcl does. You can run a perl script from STDIN by
opening a command prompt and just typing
perl
followed by the code you wish to execute, and then the EOF marker
(generally CTRL-Z or CTRL-D)
You can run perl more interactively by launching the built-in debugger
by typing
perl -d
that will allow you to interactively evaluate perl code. type h or h h
from within the debugger for more info, or look at
perldoc perldebug
from your command prompt.
Hope this helps,
Paul Lalli

I wonder if that's the question you really want to ask. Installing
ActivePerl is "... all you need to run Perl under windows". Many
packages, including a number supplied with ActiveState, provide access
to parts of Windows via the API, and I presume "Win32::API" (with
which I am not familiar) is another of those.
See if this helps:
* To run Perl under windows you need a Windows port of perl.
ActiveState Perl is one of those (there are others)
* To use Perl for Windows programming via the Windows API you need
additional packages, some of which are supplied with ActiveState.
Win32::API may be all you need, it may not - it depends on what
elements of the API you want to use, and how your exact requirement
matches the function of that package.

Perl has a debugging mode; look in the documentation. There is also
an "Open Perl IDE" available; it's far from perfect but in my opinion
it's very usable. It provides the ability to set breakpoints, inspect
variables and so on.

And who was that poster, pray tell, and where did he/she claim that
"such a thing does not exist"?
