No need to install the full activeperl. You can download a gnu perl 5.6
at http://www.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/perl561b.zip
It is possible to execute the perl.exe from anywhere (eg: network
shares), it has no reliance on system files, it can get all it needs
from ENV variables.
I think** the same is true for most of active perl. Perl.exe and any
modules in themselves dont need to run from the clients machine. However
having integrated .pl execution and wsh support however does mean you
have to have the perl\bin in your path.
**I have only tried this in a test environment with 2 or 3 scripts

That isn't really a problem. Every package that uses shortcut.pl depends on the

What do you use for ActivePerl?
I tried:
<packages>
<package id="perl" name="ActiveState Perl" revision="1" priority="800"
reboot="false">
<check type='uninstall' condition='exists' path='ActivePerl 5.10.0 Build
1004' />
<install cmd='msiexec /qn /i
%SOFTWARE%\perl\activeperl-5.10.0.1004-mswin32-x86-287188.msi
PERL_PATH=Yes PERL_EXT=Yes' />
<upgrade cmd='msiexec /qn /i
%SOFTWARE%\perl\activeperl-5.10.0.1004-mswin32-x86-287188.msi
PERL_PATH=Yes PERL_EXT=Yes' />
<remove cmd='msiexec /qn /x {061CE7E5-0115-4BB6-8381-47C602B98C7D}' />
</package>
</packages>
Unfortunately it seems to fail if ActivePerl 5.8.8 is installed, as the
MSI package seems to be unable to do upgrades :-(
