[tex-live] [Bug]tlmgr --help on Windows

[Ruben Prins]

Same problem here on XP with ActivePerl's perldoc ("device not available"; I
do have an X: drive, which would explain that particular message).

As it turned out I only used Perl for TeX Live, but with 2008 this is no
longer needed, so I have been able to reclaim some megabytes of data now.
But I guess this 'solution' won't solve the problem for other users.

I have ActivePerl installed on Vista.
Basically, tlmgr --help gives an error "The system cannot find the drive
specified."
The script tlmgr knows I have perldoc, and tries to call perldoc to
show the help.
The error is caused by the Pod::Usage perl module, in which
$Config{scriptdir} returned "X:\perl\bin".
ActivePerl correctly returns "C:\perl\bin" while tlperl returns
"X:\perl\bin".
I am not sure if this is common on all systems. Could someone look into
this issue? Thanks a lot.
