Well, you might want to try cygwin, I suppose. It is a way of putting linux up on Windows, and it is accessible via a hardware speech synthesizer and a DOS screen reader. And it does come with bash, and it may even support Perl. Hmmm, there's another one--Perl. Why not just go to goole and do a search? Open http://www.google.com and put something like "free Windows programming language" in your search string and see if there's anything out there?
