MORE INFORMATION

To install ActiveState Perl:
  1. After you install Windows Services for UNIX, use the graphical user interface (GUI) to uncomment the following lines in the Oeminst.bat file:

    rem if not exist %CDDumpDir% mkdir %CDDumpDir
    rem 
    rem if not exist %CDDumpDir%\sfuperl.exe (
    rem  
    rem     if not exist %SrcDir%\sfuperl.exe (
    rem        echo.
    rem        echo sfuperl.exe was not found in %SrcDir%. End user will not be able to install Perl.
    rem        echo you should extract perl directory using sfuperl.exe at %CDDumpDir%
    rem        echo.
    rem        goto L_end
    rem      ) else (
    rem        echo.
    rem        echo copying sfuperl.exe from %SrcDir% to %CDDumpDir%
    rem        copy %SrcDir%\sfuperl.exe %CDDumpDir%
    rem      )
    rem ) 
    rem 
    rem echo extracting Perl source files...
    rem cd /d %CDDumpDir% && sfuperl.exe
    rem echo ... Perl source files extracted. 
    						

  2. Run Sfuperl.exe in CDCopyDir.
After you complete this procedure, the Perl folder and its contents are created on the target computer. The end user now has the Perl source files available on the hard disk, which they can use to install to Perl for later use.
