I am thinking that if Perl would work even if it is moved into another 
directory, it can be used for deploying applications by including the whole 
Perl + installed modules instead of using perlapp/PAR/perl2exe/Cava 
Packager.

If Perl needs to be installed by each user on the target computer, than it 
is not  a solution for most Windows users.
PDK is not free and all other solutions for packaging have some issues and 
don't work in all the cases, so beeing able to deploy Perl together with 
some programs would be great.

I don't know C and Perl's internals, so I don't know why the directory in 
which Perl runs is so important.
