Big Thank You to all the Strawberry Perl creators/Maintainers/Developers. You have created an awesome distribution. What is even more awesome is Strawberry Portable Perl. It has made my life simpler. No Admin Rights needed to install it. I have it running on our production servers. There are some applications which are using Perl, and I treat that as "System Perl". So no fiddling there. I first downloaded the portable perl to my workstation, installed a few modules, and simply copied the folder to the production server, where I had some scripts running. Worked like a charm. Beautiful.

It also ended up installing gmake/dmake etc which were extremely useful. I use gVim on windows and was recently playing around with some plugins which required vimproc. Compiling it was easy peasy. All thanks to the extra goodies you folks have provided.

Thank you all once again.
