Yes, there are several ways: 1. One is to use the Portable version of Strawberry Perl: http://strawberryperl.com/releases.html 2. The second one is to use PAR to pack the script into a self-contained executable: http://par.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page Maybe there are other ways that I cannot think of now.

Re: Run perl scripts in Windows
Hello Remy, I guess you may either convert this script with something like perl2exe (or similar solutions), or use the portable version of Strawberry Perl - http://strawberryperl.com/download/5.12.3.0/strawberry-perl-5.12.3.0-portable.zip - to run it. -- iD 2011/10/18 Remy Guo rollingst...@gmail.com hi all, I have a Perl script in Windows but my system administrator doesn't allow me to install ActivePerl nor i guess anything that will change rigistry on the machine. is there any other way to run the script?

You do not need to install anything on that host. You can install the msi in another windows host and copy the c:\perl folder (if you choose to standard location) to the host where you need to run the script. After doing that, you can run your Perl scripts from a cmd prompt. Open cmd.exe and in there type the path to perl.exe (if you have copied it to c:\perl, it will be c:\perl\bin\perl.exe) and the path to your script. So if you have your script in d:\scripts\test.pl, you type in cmd.exe: c:\perl\bin\perl.exe d:\scripts\test.pl If you want to associate the extension pl with perl.exe, then you need to follow the instructions in here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490912.aspx When you install the active state msi, those things are automatically done for you, that is the only difference. -- natxo

i believe most group policy deployments doesn't allow personal created files on root directory of system disk.
