Thought I read there're problems with perl 5.8 on windows? http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/WindowsInstallCookbook
Under the Scope section, it's printed in bold "_don't_ use Perl 5.8.0 yet"
Have you tried it? It would be great if it works.
The last time I tried it it worked ok. They shouldn't give impossible advices.
perl UTF issues are solved for a long time now. And I don't know of any outstanding CGI.pm bug. (summer 2003)
They do recommend: cywin-1.3.9, Apache 1.3.27, Cygwin perl-5.6.1-2
But I a have much better apache setup than they recommend. For example they recommend also:
"You must use the Cygwin shell to do this (unless you are a Perl expert) - don't use the Windows command shell, cmd.exe (aka DOS Prompt). Change #!/usr/bin/perl -wT to #!c:/cygwin/bin/perl -wT . Example script to do this (explanation):
* $ perl -pi~ -e 's;#!/usr/bin/perl;#!c:/cygwin/bin/perl;' *[a-z]"
This for example is easily circumvented by using the
"ScriptInterpreterSource registry" directive in the twiki apache <Directory> section or by using the old cygwin apache.
Sorry, I won't give more advice.
I have pretty much to do on my own phpwiki, than fixing twiki and perl installation problems.
Any modern WAMP installer does a decent job with a typical apache/perl installation.
ask at the twiki mailinglists.

Why would you want to? google for a perl-5.6.1-2.tar.bz2 from a stale mirror? (That's the latest one I have any record of, don't know if there was a 5.6.1-3.)
