In my windows installations the executable is hidden a few levels deep in (10gR2) $ORACLE_HOME\perl\5.8.3\bin\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread.
IMHO the advantage of using the Oracle supplied perl (from version 10 upwards) is that the Oracle DBD, as well as a few handy tools such as Mail::Sender for sending emails, are already supplied. With ActiveState Perl you'll have to install these (and any dependencies) manually. And if any modules that you need don't exist in the ppm database you may even have to compile them... ;)
