Perl is indeed available on Windows, see http://www.activestate.com for a downloadable Perl binary for Windows.

As for connecting to SQL Server from Perl, this article on my web site gives a quick overview of possible alterantives http://www.sommarskog.se/mssqlperl/alternatives.html. Myself I offer two modules in the area, but as they use DB-Library which is deprecated by Microsoft, it's difficult to recommend them.
