Given some unix program that I compiled, what do I need to do to move it to another directory and continue working.
I think of Perl, but I will be interested in other systems, such as Apache, which also seem to fail when this is done. To motivate the issue, the ability to perform such a transfer will be very useful when linking other systems as part of a product installation.
For what it's worth, the ActivePerl installation process seems to contain some magic that performs the move during installation.
Installing ActivePerl...
Copying files to /opt/ActivePerl-5.8...done
Relocating...done (164 files relocated)
Generating HTML documentation...done
Syncing perl PPM database with .packlists...done
ActivePerl has been successfully installed at /opt/ActivePerl-5.8.
Can someone enlighten me about what is going on behind this "Move ..." line?
