Near as I can tell that means it cant find a .dll or it is incompatible.

If you are using the enterprisedb one click installer it looks like
you need to grab something that has perl510.dll (maybe activestate
5.10?) Just a guess, I dont have a windows machine here (or really
know anything about the windows build) I just downloaded the windows
.zip file and skimmed the contents of plperl.dll. Of course you are
always welcome to build your own postgresql if you need 5.12.
