I've been having folks install Strawberry Perl (and prior to that,
ActivePerl) for 10 years.  It's not that big a deal for them.

Originally, I advised for the Portable version, but changed course on
that years ago and recommend the installed version.  It's just easier to
write documentation.

Further, I have a script that cpanm's the required modules necessary for
my various software packages.  That seems to be sufficient. 

However, for what I'm doing, typically using the latest Perl and modules
is OK, but there are times when I've had to advise a particular version
becomes some module fails on the most recent S.P.  But this is generally
pretty rare.
