When you say 'they are mostly patched by some script in the distribution', what script in the core perl distribution are your referring to?

I looked for anything in the bin directory that looked like it would relocate the installation, but found nothing. Remember, I am using the raw perl source and building myself.

    Weird - I was certain that Perl now included its own script to patch the absolute paths in the relevant files, but it seems no such thing is in the Perl core.

    You could look at what Portable::Dist does to patch a Perl distribution, or what ActiveState does and replicate that.
