Show perl sub name in status line

[Егор]

Hello.
So, to do this I try to use this how to http://blogs.perl.org/users/ovid/2011/01/show-perl-subname-in-vim-statusline.html
But because I using gVim on Windows, I can't set perl interface to gVim. I want to do this on vimscript.  So my questions are:
Is it possible to use ActiveState perl like perl interface on gVim on windows?
Is it possible to write the same script as in howto above in vimscript?
Thanks a lot.

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.

I have an experience of cross-compiling (i686 mingw cross-compiler on a Gentoo amd64 host) vim with strawberry perl. It works fine under wine.
