+
+This directory contains a subset of the Strawberry Perl distribution
+as distributed from http://strawberryperl.com/
+The currently used version is 5.10.1
+
+The only purpose of this package is to support programs 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 on your system and will not
+interfere with 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 recommand to install the full version which
+can be downloaded from:
+
+ http://www.perl.org
