I have just looked at statlive.org, and I must say I am very  
impressed, especially at the prospect of having a single installation  
that could work on Windows AND Mac (and possibly Linux later on). I  
will toy with it this week, and see how I could integrate Perl.

So far I've finally managed to get Emacs to recognize Strawberry Perl,  
by adding

(setq exec-path (append exec-path (list (concat usb-drive-letter  
"Strawberry/perl/bin"))))

to my init file, but when I try to run perl in the shell I now get a  
"Shell failed with code 53 and no ouput" error. Googling around a bit,  
it seems this is a dependencies problem, but I'm not quite sure yet  
how to solve it. I'll continue working on this and on your method.
