I use perl for systems administration in a windows environment and would like to know if Perl 6 can be used the way I use it now.

Because I can't install Perl on every server and workstation in the company, I copy my ActiveState c:\perl folder, with all my favorite CPAN and PPM's and custom modules, to a network share. Then, any system can use Perl like so:

 \\server\share\perl\bin\perl.exe \\server\share\scripts\myscript.pl --my --arguments

Reading how parrot will work makes it sound like perl+parrot will be more like java/C#, where the runtime MUST be on the machine running the script.

For you Perl 6 guys, what can you reveal about the possibilities of running Perl 6 from a central location as I do with Perl 5 now?
