Is there a portable Perl along the lines of portable Python? Something I could use (while learning the stuff) from my thumb drive?
Oh, and I'm talking about Window XP.
Perl is portable and cross-platform. At the time of this writing, Perl can run on over 100 platforms. Perl is good for mission-critical large-scale projects as well as rapid prototyping.
Just open a command prompt (in Windows, just type cmd in the run dialog and press Enter. If you're on a Mac or on Linux, open a terminal window). and press Enter. If Perl is installed, you receive a message indicating its version.
I can heartily recommend Strawberry Perl.
The Portable version is on Beta (the real meaning of Beta, though), click here to get it.
EDIT: The Portable version is already out of beta (for a few months now), check here
