wamp does work with perl. unfortunately, when you install the perl add-on, it just installs perl, it does not configure your server to run perl scripts. you will have to edit your httpd.conf file and setup perl yourself.
Edit your httpd.conf file:
find:
#AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
change it to:
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
then find:
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
change to:
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes +ExecCGI
save your file, and restart apache for the new settings to take effect.
now,
you need to set the correct location to perl in the top line line of your perl files, change them to
#!"C:\wamp\Apache2\cgi-bin\perl\bin\perl.exe"
now you can run pl and cgi files.
