Description: From the publisher's website:
Perl is a programming language suitable for writing simple scripts as well as complex applications - see http://www.perl.org
Strawberry Perl is a perl environment for MS Windows containing all you need to run and develop perl applications. It is designed to be as close as possible to perl environment on UNIX systems.
It includes perl binaries, compiler (gcc) + related tools, all the external libraries (crypto, graphics, xml ...), all the bundled database clients and all you expect from Strawberry Perl.

Note: This is a CommonFiles plugin meant to be used by and with other programs such as MSYS, Cygwin, or even a TeX distribution. There is no launcher for this but the batch files are still included in their respective folders for easy launching from a command prompt.
Note: This is the spiritual successor to three previous attempts at a portable Perl (all based off of the Strawberry distribution): Perl Portable 5.10.0.1 Dev Test 1 (last active 2008), Perl Portable Dev Test 1 (last active 2009), and Perl Portable Dev Test 1 (last active 2010). This package is not based on any of the prior distributions.

Hello, I'm interested in a portable perl
for why see https://portableapps.com/node/41307 (hope I've linked that right)
Has there been general discussion and Strawberry has been decided on as a good way forward? If so I'm happy to run with it rather than looking elsewhere (e.g. digging around in XAMPP)
Is there a description of what is different to Strawberry's portable version? If this has all been discussed and I am just behind feel free to point me.

There is nothing different between vanilla Strawberry Perl and my packaged version except that it is packaged for PortableApps. I mainly made this for use with TeX utilities that I package as well. If you're planning on using Perl for anything that isn't a portable app, then it's probably easier to just get the version from their website.
Updated to 5.24.0.1 Dev Test 1. See release notes for details.
Hello,
Version 5.30.1.1 is out.
Any chance for an update?
Thank You.
