Re: Copying the Strawberry perl.exe

Copying the perl.exe alone will not work, as it won't find the installed libraries that way. What you can do is copy/move the perl of Strawberry to c:\perl64</p>. At least my ActiveState (5.12.x) lives under <c>C:\Program Files\Perl, having bin/ and lib as subdirectories there, and if your "standard" Perl in c:\Perl64 doesn't have these subdirectories, your "standard" is not really existent outside of your organization :)

perl.exe does continue to work after we copied it, although I don't know how. It even finds libraries in site/lib. I `strings`d the exe, but found no path. Maybe it's finding a dll from the `PATH` somewhere which contains the rest of the config? Yes "standard" here is just what someone said it is. - Boldra	[reply]

`Perl.exe` usually loads `perl512.dll`, which contains the core of Perl. I believe that all other directories are (on Windows) determined relative to `perl512.dll`. So either the "correct" `perl*.dll` is loaded from the appropriate directory, or you have the appropriate `PERL5INC` set up to make this work. Just copying the `perl.exe` around shouldn't work.

This leads me to wonder whether it would help to delete the original `perl.exe` after copying it to the new location. Of course, the OP has probably done that, but I don't see it stated explicitly anywhere in the thread. Regards, John Davies	[reply] [d/l]
