Re: cpanplus not functioning right in a multiple-Perl installation setup?

Are you sure that the cpan program you invoke is the cpan that corresponds to the correct perl interpreter?

Either explicitly invoke it as C:\Programs (x86)\strawberry\perl\bin\cpanp.bat or invoke it as perl -MCPANPLUS -eshell after having made sure that perl invokes the correct Perl interpreter.

Why do you want to keep multiple versions of Perl on a machine if it gives you so much trouble to separate them? I recommend having only one Perl on the machine until you feel confident in administrating that one version.

Thank you, Corion. I'll try that later and report back. Multiple Perl installation are completely normal, and the NET is full of articles and posts showing how to do it. I'm doing it "according to the books", and it looks OK. The problem, IMO, is with the cpanplus configuration. Why do you want to keep multiple versions of Perl on a machine? I need to keep the old installation since I have a project which is running fine, and I don't want to disturb it. Many thanks - Helen	[reply]

Multiple Perl installation are completely normal ... Sure it is, but most folks who manage multiple installations know how to troubleshoot, how to turn on verbosity/logging/debugging, how to view configurations...	[reply]
