You snipped out the relevant part of the RT message. And who brought up Windows?
I'm trying to understand the issue better, in particular what is lacking in environmental
variable or module support needed to make perl "portable" or "relocatable" as it
stands?
There are a variety of ways to manage one's shell environment, bash's "--rcfile" is
yet another one.
Ultimately, sounds like you got a client in a pickle and are trying to figure out
where Perl can help, which is fair. So I am trying to get clarification on what
you're wanting Perl do to make up for your own clients mess.
Cheers,
Brett
