Do you know if that static Perl can be used if the entire directory is
moved on another path?
Seems ok to me after I moved it:
C:\Windows\System32>perl-static -le "print $^X;print for @INC"
C:\_64\moved\static_perl520_482\bin\perl-static.exe
C:/_64/moved/static_perl520_482/site/lib
C:/_64/moved/static_perl520_482/lib
.
Is that what you meant ?
I am thinking that if Perl would work even if it is moved into another
directory, it can be used for deploying applications by including the whole
Perl + installed modules instead of using perlapp/PAR/perl2exe/Cava
Packager.
If Perl needs to be installed by each user on the target computer, than it
is not a solution for most Windows users.
PDK is not free and all other solutions for packaging have some issues and
don't work in all the cases, so beeing able to deploy Perl together with
some programs would be great.
I don't know C and Perl's internals, so I don't know why the directory in
which Perl runs is so important.
