This statment is a little misleading.

These requirements are needed if you want to use exactly what the w3c
validator is using. However, with some effort you can do the same things
yourself.
You can download SP (which has been developed for windows), download the
HTML DTDs. This is the core of what you need to do to check documents at
home. I use this myself at home (but under OS/2).
The PERL scripts just format the resulting error messages into a really
nice format.
