Hi,

Is this what you're looking for?

You're asking that in the HP-UX forum?

Why 5.8.3? I myself consider 5.8.4 the absolute minimum version that is useable, but 5.8.8 is out for a long time already and 5.8.9 is just around the corner.
5.10.0 is the latest stable, so WTF would you want 5.8.3? On Windows?

Anyway, all ActivePerl 5.8.x downloads for windows are still available here:

Ever considered switching to Strawberry perl?

No else than on real OS's. Just make the extension .pl and somehow windows will use the program you have associated with that extension.

So unless you are wicked, and associated .pl to be opened with Python, it should just work.
