"I use ActivePerl every day"
Version: ActivePerl (Windows) 5.8
Pros
Perl written on Windows runs on Unix, too, and vice versa. Brings sensible scripting, modularity, error checking and branching to DOS.
Cons
Database connectivity packages are unavailable, it appears, without a compilation from source.

"Good and stable"
Version: ActivePerl (Windows) 5.8
Summary
The distribution is failry stable, and works almost like the unix versions with perl, so you won't get any platform-compatibility problems except in the cases of databases etc. PPM is quite convenient for installing packages. However, it's not that easy to install packages that are not found in the active-state repository.
