Path relocation for Perl in the qtw installer templat

[MaxPerl]

In the MINGW PKBUILD file for the perl mingw packages is done a path relocation after installation. The relevant lines are:

    # Path relocation. This is done by replacing hard-coded paths with relocate
    # patterns that will be resolved on package installation. The HTML
    # documentation is handled with a patch, the rest is handled below.

    local root_pattern
    local root_pattern_double
    local pkgdir_pattern
    local pkgdir_pattern_double

    root_pattern=$(cygpath -w /)
    root_pattern="${root_pattern%\\}"
    root_pattern="${root_pattern//\\/\\\\}"
    root_pattern_double="${root_pattern//\\\\/\\\\\\\\}"
    pkgdir_pattern=$(cygpath -w "${pkgdir}")
    pkgdir_pattern="${pkgdir_pattern//\\/\\\\}"
    pkgdir_pattern_double="${pkgdir_pattern//\\\\/\\\\\\\\}"

    msg2 "Creating relocate patterns for:"
    printf "     ${root_pattern}\n"
    printf "     ${root_pattern_double}\n"
    printf "     ${pkgdir_pattern}\n"
    printf "     ${pkgdir_pattern_double}\n"

    sed -i "s/${pkgdir_pattern}/@PERL_RELOCATE@/g"                lib/perl5/core_perl/.packlist
    sed -i "s/${pkgdir_pattern_double}/@PERL_RELOCATE_DOUBLE@/g"  lib/perl5/core_perl/CORE/config.h

At the moment I don't see that this is really necessary. Especially all perl modules are found without patching Config.PM etc.. But perhaps, if your application uses File::ShareDir or similar, this could make some troubles (even if I still havn't tested, whether this is really necessary!!!). So we should relocate perl after installing within the javascript file qt-ifw/packages/org.MyApp.root.base/installscript.js, too. This issue report is as a reminder, that I want to implement perl relocation in the next version...

Good news: http://www.maximilianlika.de/static/caecilia/Caecilia-x86_64-0.08.exe was built with File::ShareDir. No problem here, especially path relocation was not necessary! So this issue seems not to be an issue...
