No sé si llegó a existir una versión de Perl 4 para Windows.
La versión OnePerl que unificaba los dos ports (adaptaciones) originales
que se mencionan en el documento Winfaq5 de ActiveSate (del que pego un
fragmento a continuación) salió en 1998, en la era Perl 5.
What's the history of ActivePerl on Windows?

At one time, Perl on the Win32 platform was found in two versions, Gurusamy
Sarathy's port, and the ActiveState port. The ActiveState port of Perl
included such tools as Perl for ISAPI and PerlScript, at the expense of
exposing Perl's internals in a slightly different fashion than standard
Perl. Sarathy's port featured a high degree of compatibility with standard
Perl, which enabled users of Sarathy's port to use many modules that were
not compatible with ActiveState Perl.

The oneperl effort brought both ports of Perl together, and ActivePerl is
the standard perl distribution for the Win32 system. All modules that can
be used on Win32 can be used with this port. You no longer have to worry
about whose perl the module is for. Just grab it, compile it (if needed),
and use it.
