I need (some) Perl on Windows to be run from within shell wrapper scripts. Looks like there will be no Cygwin. Which shell will it be? Probably Busybox:
- https://frippery.org/busybox/
- http://strawberryperl.com/releases.html
- I don’t have admin rights on that Windows machine, so I am going for “64bit PortableZIP edition + extra PDL related libs”
- I unzip it to the subdirectory derived from the ZIP filename
- then for setting up the environment I run the portableshell.bat therein
- afterwards I start the busybox shell as suggested on the web page shown above
