I'm doing a full manual install via "cpan padre" as I write - actually started and re-started about a half-hour ago, so I can see the benefit of a canned distro.

My issue isn't that dwim is now eight months and a few point releases behind.

It's that I need to be able to run from an external drive on machines where I not only don't have Admin rights, but they're student labs where no changes are allowed at all to the host machines, a mix of XP and W7.

The current Strawberry is nicely packaged to run via a batch file that sets up the path and term EnVars, doesn't write to the windows-version of "home" nor the registry, etc., so I can just plug in my external drive and away I go, don't even need to worry about what drive letter the host system assigns.

So when you do get around to rebuilding dwim with the current stable strawberry, please use their portable version as your starting point.

Thanks for considering this.
