Hmm, ok - that might work, but for ActivePerl I'd use the AS style package; 
problem is the PDK.

Are there similar options for the PDK msi, and if so what are they more in 
detail? Can I be sure that an msi installed in that manner won't mess up any 
existing settings in the registry (e.g. if I happen to have PDK 7 installed 
already)? Will it leave uninstall information behind (considering that the 
unpacking of it would be basically a transient thing, and when I'm done I'd 
just wipe the directory where it was installed. Etc...

Failing all the above, is it possible to just scavenge a 'real' PDK 
installation and zip up the whole or part of the tree? If I can just take 
bits and pieces what would be essential (considering just PerlApp)? Seems to 
me the PDK install is pretty benign so this might be the easiest route 
perhaps...

Don't think so, but you can use 'msiexec' to install MSIs from the
command line.  See:
