Hello Dave,
The script in question is here
https://github.com/StrawberryPerl/Perl-Dist-Strawberry/blob/master/share/portable/portableshell.bat
So the easiest way is to fork
https://github.com/StrawberryPerl/Perl-Dist-Strawberry and send a pull request

I ran across the portableshell.bat file used by Portable Strawberry Perl
in the following StackOverflow question:
http://stackoverflow.com/q/35867036/1012053
There are a number of problems with that script that lead to unnecessary
limitations:
* The root path of Portable Strawberry Perl cannot contain space, equal
(=), semicolon (;), ampersand (&), or caret (^)
* The script will fail if the existing PATH contains an unquoted
ampersand or caret
Plus there are other esoteric issues that could use improvement.
I've developed (and tested) a significantly improved portableshell.bat
script that I would like to contribute.
I joined GitHub, but have no idea how to proceed any further.
