I see!

I just checked $^X on both installs, and indeed, the Solaris binary returns just the executable name ("perl"), whereas on Linux it returns the full path to the executable.

The previous perl versions on both boxes behave the same way respectively.

Next question - is this normal? Or have I missed something in the Solaris build that does the $^X magic correctly?

The inference given in the documentation is that the relocation should 'just work', so assuming I haven't screwed this install up - does it constitute a perl on solaris bug?

Thanks for everyones help so far,
CK.
