But so anyway, I'm psyched! So many employers want Perl now, so my strategy is 1) learn the basics in an easy DOS environment thanks to Strawberry, 2) next move on to Cygwin for a linux environment (or close enough to Linux for my simple purpose,) and then 3) once I feel somewhat proficient in that, I will defintiely download a VM, and thanks for all the tips!!I'll definitely look at Virtualbox, thanks for the tips!!
Elija, see you're a Futurama fan, me too, don't know if you have an android phone but if so, there's a free widget you can download with hourly Futurama quotes, it's super fun!
Cheers everybody, thanks again and I'll probably bug you again with future questions.

How about running a LiveCD/DVD/FlashDrive?
There is a program "unetbootin" (see: UNetbootin - Homepage and Downloads) which will put LiveCD//DVD onto a FlashDrive (it will even doload the ISO image if you have not downloaded an ISO image).

I've used UNetbootin, it's great!! But as I mentioned, don't want a VM for now. Just needed a simple Perl download for windows to practice and learn basic Perl syntax, then later will move on to a vm. Found what I needed. But UNetbootin is really amazing
