Dog-fooding Perl on a Stick
Slowly, hesitantly, the experimental work on Portable.pm is yielding solutions to problems (some of which will require other modules to be changed, but not in ways that are particularly crazy).
So far, I think I have enough evidence to be confident I will be able to successfully hijack Config.pm, CPAN::Config, File::HomeDir, and CPAN::Mini, which is about the minimum necessary to get a working portable Perl distribution rolling.
So at this time, I'm ready to set the following challenge for myself.
If I can get the Perl Foundation development grant to work on Perl on a Stick, the day before I leave Australia I will delete every Perl installation off my laptop, and spend the entire trip working entirely off a flash drive.

It should prove the idea at the very least.
Have I told you lately I think you're my Perl hero?
I would say chromatic and Ovid as well but I'm waiting for the results of chromatic and hfb's cage match.

I won't speak for her, but I think hfb would say that she's spent a lot more time raising a child the past few years than working in tech in non-work hours, and I respect that.
