Portable perl ?

#1 Post by selepo »

The only perl distro I know which is portable is tinyperl. Do you know another one (win32) ? Do you know if it's hard to make perl portable ?

I last tried this with version 5.6 a few years back. IIRC, it ran smoothly on another machine, but I never checked for side effects like registry entries or files appearing in the system directories.

I have done this recently with Python 2.4 - all you need to do is copy the python24.dll from windows\system32, and do some funky magic with module loading, but it's very doable. I'll post my findings if anyone's interested.
