Hi Phil,
pp adds installation specific configuration files from your Perl installation: Config.pm and Config_heafy.pl contain absolute paths to C:\Perl\. (many) and C:\MinGW\i686-w64-mingw32\... (several).
I don't know much when and where these entries are used, only one:
Perl tries to run $Config{sitelib}/sitecustomize.pl at startup, that's currently "C:\Perl\site\lib\sitecustomize.pl".
Not many users will have such a script, but it shouldn't be used by ExifTool Windows.
Oliver
Thanks for this note.

this was wrong, ExifTool's Perl does
not try to run C:\Perl\site\lib\sitecustomize.pl on startup.
https://perldoc.perl.org/perlrun.html writes: "The value of $Config{sitelib} is also determined in C code and not read from Config.pm , which is not loaded."
Sorry for the wrong information.
