to use perl quests, you only need to have perl installed, and perl enabled in the zone binaries.
The only thing that requires DB update atm is for use of the global variables, as designed by tark and scorp (lookout 'coming soon' post), and included in distro since 0.5.3dr3 or so.
To write a quest, just create a text file, name it 1243.pl where 1234 is NPC type id, and put it in the right directory ( ./quest/freporte/ if your NPC is in freport east).
All about this in the sticky in this forum, but basically that's all you need to do. Look at that post for a debug-convenient default quest, too.
