Hi Perl Monks,

Please help me with this.

When I install strawberry Perl package, I have observed that in c folder there are multiple files such as .exes, C++ and many more. Which is not the case for the Active Perl. When I deleted the c folder, my Perl scripts failed. I retained only bin folder in c and deleted rest of the folders in c, and then my Perl scripts started working. So, I would like to know,

1. Can I have only bin folder in c and deleted all other folders in c ?

2. Can I deleted some other files in c\bin which are not required and any other folders like licenses etc. in package ?

NOTE : I am trying to make this package smaller / liter by deleting unwanted file to reduces the risk of vulnerabilities and ship to a software. I am okay, even if this package doesn't allow me to install the other Perl modules using cpan.

Thanks in advance !!
