Packaging and distribution for Perl code on Win32.
http://www.cava.co.uk/

There are several options available if you need to use Apache and SSL with mod_perl on MSWin32.

Notably http://www.devside.net/  provide fully integrated Perl and Apache distributions for development.

The Gigi Apache SSL download provides a distributable setup in a relatively small package (4mb) that includes:

Apache 2.0.55
OpenSSL 0.9.8a
Mod Perl 2.0.2

NOTE: Please be sure that the law as it applies to you allows your intended use of OpenSSL. You must not download the install package until you are satisfied that it is within the law for you to do so.

The installation package will simply install the files on your machine. You can then install Apache / Mod Perl to your requirements.
