Thank you davidrw. I failed to find that in my searches -- probably because of my use of "standalone" instead of "portable", and "key" instead of "thumbdrive"!	[reply]

Thanks to everyone for their comments. A few days ago I wasn't aware of a single portable version of Perl and now I have more options than I know what to do with! The immediate problem I had was solved with TinyPerl as I needed to do some simple pinging and executable launching. That was very messy in Windows batch script and nice and simple in Perl. Next I need to figure out which of these variants will get pride of place on the USB key. Given that I have plenty of free space I wonder if I could fit all of them on there... :)	[reply]
