As nobull points out, you can simply install to the shared drive directly, and then everything would be updated automatically.

Let's say you decided that everyone would mount all shared utilities on drive "U" (for utility). You could just change all "C:\Perl"s to "U:\Perl" and everything should work fine after that. (As nobull also kind of pointed out, most things would work fine without this change, but debugging why your script doesn't work with use diagnostics on a remote machine is painful - trust me. So I'm trying to ensure you don't have that problem. Other problems, perhaps, but not the same ones I've had ;->). Something like this should work, given that you started with perl on drive C, and follow the above example:

perl -pi.bak -e 's/C:\\Perl/U:\\Perl/g' Config.pm
Your favourite editor probably has a search&replace function, too. But when you have perl already, why not take advantage of it ;-)
