Re^5: using perl installed in another computer

So, each remote computer would need a perl installed? Since the config.pm file exists in C:\Perl\lib directory as you had mentioned.

No, on Win32, the location C:\perl\lib is not harwired into perl.exe. Instead perl.exe infers the default @INC (Perl module search path) at runtime from the location of perl.exe.

Actually even if the location were hardwired it would be patched at install time so it would still be sufficient to simply install the .MSI into the shared drive using the mapped drive letter.

Thank you for the reply Could you repeat that in english? :) So, I don't need perl installed in the remote computers? I understood that in the remote computers, I would need to map drive U: (for example) to the main computer. Then, I will need to install .MSI file on the main computer? Where can I get a .MSI? Thanks	[reply]

Then, I will need to install .MSI file on the main computer? Yes. But install it in U:\Perl not in C:\Whatever\is\shared\as\U\Perl. You may do this by running through the installation procedure on any computer that has U: mapped (provided you have write permission!). Where can I get a .MSI? Sorry, I assumed you were already using Perl on Windows and ~99% people who install Perl on Windows do so using the MSI from ActiveState. If you installed Perl one of the other possible ways then you should equally be able use that method too.	[reply]
