You can run Perl from a networked drive, with a few notes, and it heps to have ActivePerl at hand -- I did this often with login scripts at my old job in a Win32 enviorment. As I recall, it went something like:

  1. Install Perl onto server
  2. Share out the directory with Perl in it read-only and with tight security (there's a bug from awhile back that required me to share out from the parent dir, i.e. c:\perl instead of c:\perl\bin, might be fixed now
  3. Write the perl script per normal
  4. Use the pl2bat utility, and edit the batch file to map to the share w/perl
  5. Run and test

If you're in a *INX enviorment, I'd think much the same would apply. NOTE: This should be done from a fully secured network -- PLEASE do not try this with your perl.exe on a web server.
