Re: How to create relocatable perl 5.20.1 ? ( Portable.pm)

I think you need to load Portable.pm

FWIW, IIRC, "relocatable perl" means @INC gets automatically updated, @INC is relative to $^X ... @INC not all of %Config

Moving the perl always mean %Config had to be updated ... Portable does that updating on the fly

citrusperl provides a relocateperl which updates %Config permanently

activestate provides a Installer.bat

Strawberryperl just does it with Portable (there is a chance there is an updated but who cares :)

Some excellent pointers there. thanks! The Portable.pm is not really what I want here as that would require the users to change their code but I just found an old e-mail thread with kmx in which we talked about this issue. So maybe I misunderstand what Portable does. The relocateperl of Citrusperl might do what I need here, but it is written in C and I could not find its source yet.	[reply]

Did you read what you linked says? http://dwimperl.com/linux.html says perl dwimperl-linux-5.20.1-2-x86_64/perl/bin/reloc_perl dwimperl-linux-5.20.1-2-x86_64/perl/bin/ so why don't you do that, why don't you use https://github.com/dwimperl/dwimperl-linux/blob/master/src/reloc_perl?
