Perl on external hard drive
|
|
| Kevin Viel 2006-09-11, 6:57 pm |
| Is it possible to install perl and modules on an external hard drive
that I could take from computer to computer? It seems a simple as
installing it onto that drive, but I do not know whether I can use PPM
to install CPAN modules there or whether I can use it successfully.
Thanks,
Kevin

Through experimentation, I can answer my own question. Yes, it seems to
be working fine.

| Since Perl doesn't use the registry or absolute paths to find its
modules that should work just fine. The only thing to watch out for is
that you will be violating the ActiveState license if you distribute
your own ActivePerl distribution outside of your organization without
getting their okay first.

However, other people have built Perl for Windows using the AS source,
and made it freely available - you could *probably* redistribute that,
if you provided the source code and credits.
