There are portable Strawberry releases available at http://strawberryperl.com/releases.html (portable meaning one doesn't need to be an admin to install perl), and those on anything sane with a compiler toolchain can use perlbrew (http://cpan.me/App::perlbrew) to get a recent perl installed in their home directory. If you've not got a compiler toolchain installed, you're extremely limited in the CPAN modules you can choose, and may as well not use Perl at that point. > Here it is with some print (say) statements: To be clear, say is a builtin for perls version 5.10.1 (5.10.0 had several bugs and is not recommended for production or development use) and above. It's roughly equivalent to print with a \n added to the end.
