Yes and no. :-)

I originally installed Active Perl with the MSI installer in another 
workstation, and I did it on the D: unit, trying to keep the *nix-like path 
(/usr/bin/perl) to avoid certain problems running scripts on both Unix and 
Win32 platforms that required the shebang line. After writing a lot of 
modules and stuff, I was in charge of moving all that to a production 
server, so I first tried moving only the folder "/usr" to the QA server. 
Everything worked perfectly, so I added that folder to a first import in our 
repository, and later, we exported that folder from the repository to the 
production server. Ever since then, I work in the development server in 
conjunction with the repository and I just export the changes from the 
repository to the other servers.

So, answering you question (sorry if I explained too much), this Perl 
installation was not made in this workstation by the MSI installer, I just 
"checked out" the "usr" folder from the repository. But it was, some time 
ago, originally installed in another computer with the MSI installer.


Thanks again,

Paco Zarabozo
