The best way is reinstall your WebServer, try Apache/php/mysql/perl, you can get it here:

Both are files used for web site creations. They are written using the Pearl programming language. They are designed to run on web servers. In order to use them, you would either have to host your own web server, or find a hosting service which allows you to run Pearl scripts. Most do not because of the danger of them crashing the entire server for everybody if improperly configured.
Check with whoever your web page host is, as many host provide Formmail and other server side scripts as part of the hosting service. It is safer for them then having you try to run your own.
If they do not offer them, look for a host who does.

.pl = perl.
I'd go with ActiveState for Windows. The free version (for non-commerical use) should work fine for you.
