Install anywhere? (Score:2)
There were several people on #win32 recently who wanted to do just that and had to go back to ActivePerl for this.
Would it be possible to change cpan.bat and other similar files to use relative path for launching perl? That would I think make it possible to install Strawberry Perl along with ActivePerl or other versions of Perl. At least Strawberry perl will behave then nicely.
Would it be possible to remove the feature (aka fix the problem) that forces us to install Wx manually?

No, although I'm hoping to have a "real" Portable Edition beta ready.

Maaaybe, but as I understand things, it's the fault of pl2bat. If that is fixed, Strawberry will just pick up the fix automatically.
One thing I do plan to look into though is to make the various calls to things like GCC explicit paths rather than relative.
