Even after moving the installation tree $Config{perlpath}, and a few other variables in %Config, still point to the path where this perl was first installed. Code relying on this will die with

Can't exec "/home/dwimperl/dwimperl-linux-5.20.1-1-x86_64/perl/bin/perl": No such file or directory

See

%Config that are 'stuck'

Some of the distributions affected directly:

  • Test-Differences
  • ExtUtils-Helpers

Fixed by including the dwim.sh that will load DWIM.pm via the PERL5OP environment variable.
This might have caused other issues with taint-mode checking.
There could be another solution using $Config{sitelib}/sitecustomize.pl. See -f in https://metacpan.org/pod/perlrun
