It turns out that Portable and the "vendor" changes butted heads and broke horns against each other, so that @INC was messed up and the portability code never got ran. :(
At any rate, I'm making a patching .zip available that replaces 2 files in the Strawberry Perl October 2009 Beta 2 portable .zip available at http://strawberryperl.com/beta/.
The patch files provide a workaround for RT#50062, which should fix RT#50087, and it also adds the updated portableshell.bat that is mentioned in RT#49958.
(The README file mentioned in RT#49958 itself will be added in the next beta or the first release candidate, whatever happens.)
I know some people would rather I not use sitecustomize.pl, but it was either that or patch the perl binary itself - and Strawberry tries to avoid that as much as possible. [We DO patch the modules in a few places, and we do patch the files that configure perl's build process - but we don't patch any *.c files.]
Considering the purpose of sitecustomize.pl, however, I've decided that we'll end up patching perl in order to get the correct order and fix the relocation, however - if not for the final, for the January versions.
