You don't "set perl interface", you compile Vim with Perl support, using a specific Perl version.

I have not compiled Vim with Perl support before, but I imagine it is similar to compiling with Python support, which is certainly possible on Windows:

I assume ActivePerl will work with Vim, if not Strawberry Perl should. Like I said, I've never actually tried it.

If your Vim is already compiled with Perl support (see the output of the :version command), then you need to make sure the same version of Perl is installed that Vim was compiled with, and that it is accessible on your system path.
