+C<$^X> is now converted to an absolute path on OS X, FreeBSD (without
+needing F</proc> mounted) and Solaris 10 and 11. This augments the
+previous approach of using F</proc> on Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD
+(in all cases, where mounted).

+This makes relocatable perl installations more useful on these platforms.
