Perl for Unix & Windows

Hi
Even though this is unix forum, iam posting this thread as iam not sure of which forum should i post this too.
I understand perl can be used in unix environment and i have used the same for automation of my processes.
Eg:
Open a file
search the text string
replace the text string
close the file

Iam looking for similar "perl for windows". Where i can do the same. Iam not sure if this can be done through the batch file though! (Again, because i could not find any information of using or creating batch scripts i could not continue further).
I somehow believe that "perl for windows" can be used for this automation

Open a file
search the text string
replace the text string
close the file
on windows environment.

Where do i get "perl for windows" or is it possible through the batch script or any other freeware?

Do request you to direct me, so that i can automate on windows too, how i did on unix!

thanks
