in reply to Redistributable Apache Web Server with Strawberry Perl - Practical?
is Apache a real need? if you need to run a microwebsite embed into a portable StrawberryPerl distro many other options are available: Starman Plackup and even other frameworks offers the possibility to run micro webserver:
I bookmarked a oneliner by YourMother that goes like:
plackup -p 5000 -MPlack::App::Directory -e 'Plack::App::Directory->new +({root => q{.}})->to_app'
PS see also Simple http server one-liner for some static files? and Webserver Oneliner
I suspect that doing this way will be simpler than with an entire Apache installation.
Spend your time investigating in the security implications: accepts only from localhost for example.
You can modify the portableshell.bat that comes with Strawberry portable installation and launch directly the webserver and finally start http://127.0.0.1:5000 to open the page in the default browser.
CitrusPerl is another option to create a specific Perl distribution.
