This directory contains a slightly rearranged (but not modified)
Strawberry Perl distribution as distributed from
  http://strawberryperl.com/ 
The currently used version is 5.10.1
(Strawberry Perl October 2009).

The only purpose of this Perl is to provide support on Windows for
Perl scripts shipped with TeX Live.  It's not intended for general use.

Changes:
 * The only module that has been added is Perl/Tk and Win32::Shortcut.
   Procedure:
   - start the CPAN client
   - at the prompt: 
       install Tk
       install Win32::Shortcut

 * After that the lib directories in 
     strawberry\perl\lib
     strawberry\perl\vendor\lib
     strawberry\perl\site\lib
   have been merged into one directory (tlperl/lib)

   * strawberry\perl\bin plus zlib1.dll and libpng3.dll from strawberry\c\bin
   have been put into tlperl/bin
 
This version of Perl will not be installed in your system directories
and will not interfere with any other versions of Perl which might be
installed already.

If you need Perl for any other purpose than running the programs
provided by TeX Live, we recommend installing the full version which
can be downloaded from:
   http://www.perl.org
