You can use cygwin to install a Bash shell for you

http://www.cygwin.com/

I think it has Perl that you can choose to install, but if not, you can use:

http://www.perl.org/get.html

Another way is that you can try Virtual Machine and install Ubuntu on it. It can be a lot of fun to see a Linux box running like a real machine on your Windows. A free Virtual Machine program that's good to run Ubuntu is VirtualBox.
