So, I imagine that there were several ports of Perl for windows prior to
ActiveState's port and that they probably had similar problems as Ruby on
Windows is now having. (I never used Perl on Windows prior to ActiveState
perl, so I don't know for sure) 

What exactly did ActiveState do differently to port Perl to Windows and
can the same be done for Ruby?

Why would compiling Ruby with Visual C++ cause some features to be missing
(like popen)?
