	"There are other applications you might be interested in installing:

	ActivePerl

	    ActivePerl is an implementation of Perl for Windows. A few
	    utilities (e.g., ConTeXt) are Perl scripts. You should install
	    ActivePerl, if you want to use these utilities."

On Unix systems, perl is usually included as a basic system utility.
