in thread perl standalone to run perl script as a parameter

I cannot (by policy) install Perl on these PCs. I can however, have a standalone perl.exe on them to use at my discretion.
Come one, give us a break! What is the difference between an "installed" Perl and a "standalone" Perl? Someone has been selling your IT security guys snake-oil.

Download a portable Strawberry Perl on a clean PC, install all modules you need, zip it up again and put it on your target computers. Sell it as the new "standalone Perl" and enjoy full perliness on your machines.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
