This directory contains a subset of the Strawberry Perl distribution 
as distributed from http://strawberryperl.com/
The currently used version is 5.10.1 (Strawberry Perl October 2009)

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
