I had a client ask me about how Activestate allows you to install their Unix binaries "anywhere". I presume it's done with the "pad every @INC element out with NULs" and then an install patchup to put the actual paths in there and in Config.pm. But when I looked at the provided "diffs between 5.8.0 and AP804" file, I don't see anything that resembles that. I'm guessing then that it's all done with the right configure variables and an install proggy that doesn't have to be made available under the GPL. Is the process to make a binary run anywhere proprietary to Activestate, or did I just miss that the sources were out there? -- Randal L.
