*>Other 'versions' (as in Platforms) of Perl usually come with CPAN.pm, which has
similar functionality but compiles the modules...
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/CPAN/perl/pod/perlmodinstall.html
or
'perldoc perlmodinstall' from your command line.
has some useful advice on how to install modules on a number of platforms.
CPAN.pm, to the best of my knowledge [ I don't own a PC ] does work on
windows.
http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=MailTools shows that MSWin32
passed in the 'tested platforms' section.
http://testers.cpan.org/search?request=dist&dist=MailTools will show you
the platforms and the configurations.
And, though MS hasn't bought ActiveState, they do have a substantial
investment and interest in the company which is a bonus for those people
who work with Windows and need a solid perl working on the platform.
O'Reilly also has a substantial financial investment in AS. AS is good for
Perl no matter what OS you prefer :)

p.s. a gentle reminder to trim off all parts of the mail that aren't
pertinent to your reply as it makes it easier to read and follow.
