Re: Build Perl win32 with a ' ' in install dir

As a hacky way of installing your custom Perl, you can also first configure it for (say) C:\TEMP\MyPerl\, install it there and then move it.

You will have to patch lib/Config.pm, lib/Config_heavy.pl and lib/CPAN/Config.pm and adjust them for your new paths, but that should be it. Alternatively, have a look at what Strawberry Perl does in relocateperl.cmd.

Thanks, but if I move my new Perl, how will it find its lib/Config.pm lib/Config_heavy.pm and lib/CPAN/Config.pm at their new locations ?	[reply]

These paths (well, `@INC`) get set up relative to the location of `perl.exe`, as long as you have `userelocatableinc` set to a true value in your Makefile. This should be the default on Windows anyway.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
