Jo,
assuming *doze, before you install Perl, backup your registry, install perl, and backup your registry again (to a diffrerent file) to see what modifications it has made, then you should be able to delete these keys, and executables that remain will be overwritten with new ones when the new install starts, or you could build a standard unpack list
HTH, or at least gives you a start

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your reply.
Is there any tool or command that can do the uninstallation for me?
I am trying to avoid direct access to the registry.
I have come across a few solution that doesn't work for me:
% sudo port -v -d uninstall perl5.8
or
% vrmperl
Do you have any sugestions?
Thanks
Jo

Jo,
the commands you shared seem to be *nix variants.
Ask this question in the OS areas for your particlaur flavour of windows. If memory serves, the uninstall should only look to a few entries in the reg, as most of the install is files with relative paths, and building the @INC array.
Otherwise, a question to Activestate themselves might be in order
