If you do this you'll probably want to install strawberry perl on each machine *then* copy the strawberry directory over since that way you'll have all the other stuff (start menu stuff, paths, etc) installed.

Two additional alternatives:

- What extra modules do you need?  Have you looked at http://dwimperl.com/.  It's Strawberry + Padre (Therefore Wx::Perl, Moose) + Task::Kensho + Dancer & Plack + SQLite + database drivers for MySQL/Postgres/Oracle

- If that isn't big enough you could always repackage your own using the free packaging system that dwimperl uses - http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php/  dwimperl's iss file is here: https://github.com/dwimperl/tools/blob/master/dwimperl.iss
