You can install scripts that you write but you can't install Perl? Why is that?

The basic install of Perl is simply unzipping a directory tree that doesn't even take up that much space. If you want that install of Perl to be usable for building and installing modules, then you'll also need to update Config.pm to reflect where Perl was installed (which doesn't sound necessary in this case). If you want Perl in the PATH then you have to change the PATH, but since you won't be running a ton of scripts I'd just pl2bat each one and teach them to find perl even though it isn't in the PATH.
