From when we only had Windows to develop software on and were using ActivePerl, there should be a menu item under the Start button. It opens an editor with the Perl parser built in and an output section to show the results. So "perl -v" will indeed be an unrecognised command.
Sounds like your environment path did not get set right to point to Perl. When I installed perl on vista it had a check box that was checked to add it to my path. You might try uninstalling it and reinstall and make sure that it is checked or check on the Active State site to see where you could update it. Good luck.
