5.10, Strawberry and Catalyst
Now that 5.10 is out, I'm foaming at the mouth waiting for a Strawberry Perl release. One of things I'm looking forward to is the relocatable perl install, which was probably done in 5.9.x.
Relocatable installations
There is now Configure support for creating a relocatable perl tree. If you Configure with -Duserelocatableinc, then the paths in @INC (and everything else in %Config) can be optionally located via the path of the perl executable.
Once I have Strawberry Perl 5.10 in my paws, I'm tempted to have a go at a Perl::Dist::Catalyst, which rolls all the Catalyst mess into a relocatable installer. That would make getting started with Catalyst on Win32 even easier.

Win32 Perl was always relocatable (Score:1)
Win32 Perl was always relocatable, the only issues are patching up CPAN/Config.pm, Config.pm and Config_heavy.pl with the appropriate paths. The "make Perl relocatable" item is for other operating systems which require Perl to hardcode @INC.
