When I was first learning Perl, long before I had any of the O'Reilly books, I found this site:
Robert's Perl Tutorial
It was one of the best tutorials I have ever come across. It is about as close to Learning Perl on Win32 Systems as I have ever come across.
There are plenty of "hands-on" exercises and, like most books of this type, an intro section on Perl's humble beginnings and how-to install a Perl interpreter on your Win32 box. The chapters and exercises are all incredibly easy to follow and the author does a wonderful job of keeping your attention.
And from the Introduction:
This tutorial is...
A basic Perl course primarily for use on Win32 platforms. It assumes that the reader knows nothing of programming whatsoever, but needs a solid grounding for further work. After you finish this course you'll be ready to specialise in CGI, sysadmin or whatever you want to do with Perl.
Hope this helps...

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
