Re^2: Copying the Strawberry perl.exe

perl.exe does continue to work after we copied it, although I don't know how. It even finds libraries in site/lib. I stringsd 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.

`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]
