Repost: Can one move a layer by an exact distance?

I'm reposting because I've had no replies to my original post. Is there any way in Photoshop of moving a layer by a specific distance? The only ways I can see to move things is by either
nudging them with the cursor keys or dragging with the mouse, and no measurements are displayed in either case. Is there any way to move something by a specific distance, e.g. 2mm to the left or whatever?

Worked it out for myself in the end. In case anyone else has the same problem, what you seem to have to do is make the rulers visible, zoom right in until the measurements displayed on the ruler are small enough for your needs, set guides to mark the "move to" position, and drag until whatever you are moving snaps to the guide.

A better solution has now been posted in the original thread.
