[oak perl] Perl on USB flash drive

Does anyone know if it's possible to install and run ActivePerl 5.8.6.811 
or ActivePerl 5.6.1.638 on a USB flash drive and then run it from same 
plugged into a Win2000 and/or WinXP machine?  This would be a machine that 
I couldn't easily run install programs, registry changes, or really make 
any changes to the machine's configuration.

My current problem is that I'm often working in offices, away from home, 
during the day, and I want to be writing code while I'm learning Perl, but 
of course these offices I work in don't have Perl installed on their machines.

Many thanks for any help or ideas on this.
