in reply to Re^2: Copying the Strawberry perl.exe
in thread Copying the Strawberry perl.exe

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.
