It looks like your Perl was originally installed in D:\Perl and then
manually moved to F:\Perl.  This does not relocate all the internal links
inside a Perl installation and is discouraged.

At the very least you should update your F:\Perl\lib\Config.pm file to
contain all the right paths etc.  PerlApp (and several Perl core modules)
use Config.pm to determine information about your Perl configuration.

I think the PPM configuration is also vulnerable to manual relocation of
the tree as well.  Check the ppm-conf directory and the ppm.xml file, if
you care about PPM working correctly.  But this will not be relevant for
PerlApp operations.

Cheers,
