Any chance to make this publicly available? To give you an idea,
ImageMagick does a fairly standard Perl install on Appveyor:
https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-Windows/blob/master/AppVeyor/Install.cmd#L37
They are downloading
https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-Windows/releases/download/20160630/strawberry-perl-5.20.1.1-64bit.msi

And install it, using chocolatey
https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-Windows/blob/master/AppVeyor/Install-StrawberryPerl-x64.ps1#L1

Could something like this be extended to install the non-standard
modules as well? If this is not possible using the msi-installer, would
a self-extracting exe be another way?
