Activeperl

From WPKG | Open Source Software Deployment and Distribution

To make a silent installer for ActivePerl, use the instructions below.

 start /w msiexec /i "ActivePerl-5.8.7.813-MSWin32-x86-148120.msi" PERL_PATH="Yes" /qb-

PERL_PATH adds c:\perl\bin to the windows PATH Environment Variable.

To install modules from a local repository (as opposed to the Activestate repository)

 SET LOCALPACKAGEREP=\\server\share
 ppm rep add "Local" %LOCALPACKAGEREP%
 ppm install %LOCALPACKAGEREP%\net-ip\Win32-FileOp.ppd

Each ppd file contains a reference to a tar.gz file that is usally kept in the same folder. Just make sure that you have all the dependancies for the modules (again, in the ppd file)
