<p> Every version of activeperl is portable ... as is every version of perl on win32 ... [id://385469|How is the default @INC constructed?], [id://1025503|Fix_pl2bat], [id://385469|How is the default @INC constructed?], [id://888401]
<p> as is every perl compiled for linux with [http://p3rl.org/INSTALL#Relocatable-INC]
<p> [href://http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePerl/releases/] the [id://1046608|zip installer ] is the closest direct equivalent of strawberryportable ...
<p> "installing" perl on win32 is simply copy some files, diddle Config.pm, diddle %PATH%/%PATHEXT%/ftype/assoc
<p> The portable versions don't try to diddle ftype/assoc/path/pathext/registry by default
and come with an automatic Config.pm diddler ... and come with <i> thumbdrive path sensitivity </i> via [mod://ExtUtils::FakeConfig] or [id://1050151|sitecustomize.pl] or <b> [mod://Portable] </b> ...
<p> The essence of <i>portable strawberry</i> is [href://https://metacpan.org/source/KMX/Perl-Dist-Strawberry-3.012/share/portable/portableshell.bat] and [mod://Portable] and maybe an extra <b>vendor</b> cpan configuration (like [href://http://www.citrusperl.com/] does)
<p> <b>thats it really</b> maybe an extra one or two files ... the rest is %PATH% and cpan/Config management ... regular sameness
<p> Like others have said, the only difference between the two is the <i> license </i> and support contract
<p> ActiveState puts [href://http://docs.activestate.com/activeperl/5.18/EULA-Community_License.txt|restrictions on redistribution] the binaries ... as it has done for a very very very long time, and blah blah they're a business they do things their own way (like redhat)
<p> I like strawberry, I like citrus, I like compiling my own ... its all the same, just some distributions include more stuff in one download
