Hi Dominique,
this is the administrative mailing list for things relating to the CPAN
(hence modules in the mailing list name). I think you should check out
the beginners mailing list at beginn...@perl.org. I am not subscribed,
but I hear it's a very useful mailing list.

I would like to use Perl 5 and I have windows 7.
Which version of Perl should I use?
You should generally strive to use the latest stable release of Perl.
Right now, that is Perl 5.14.2. What remains is which Windows
distribution of Perl you want to install. There are many to choose from,
but the most often recommended are Strawberry Perl[1] and ActivePerl[2].
The latter is published by ActiveState, whereas Strawberry Perl is
purely a community effort. Both work great. If you ever wish to *buy*
commercial support, ActivePerl will be a better choice.
Best regards,
Steffen
