The Inno script stuff is not what is blocking the install to multiple paths, I intentionally removed it.

The reason we can't install to multiple paths is that far too much of the Perl installation bakes in a single explicit path and isn't flexible enough to change that.

Allowing install to custom paths would require extensive rewriting of paths post-installation, which seems too dangerous to me.

The Inno half of the problem is the easy bit, it's the Perl part is problematic :(

 I've got lots of experience with Inno Setup scripts; would the project be
interested in patches to allow the script to specify the install location?
 I see on the project page that you're looking for an MSI installer; I don't
do those.
