Actually that is what I am doing the whole of the time.

I have installed ActiveState Perl on my laptop and then copied over the whole of the Perl directory to a server-share (which under Windows is accessible as a "drive") so it can be seen by all on our internal network. And yes we are all running Windows XP, so binary compatibility is assured.

However as the paths are different on my laptop and on the server-share, I had to use the reloc_perl.bat script which is supplied with ActiveState Perl. The only "snag" is that the new path must not be longer than the old paths or else there is not enough space in the files to replace the paths. Then you add the "new" path to the users' PATH environment variable and you're done.

After the initial relocation and copying, I now daily update the perl/site directory with rsync from my laptop and so far had no errors in running Perl from other machines. It seems there are no hard-coded paths in the files in perl/site (famous last words!).

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
