Re^5: CPAN failing to install PAR::Package

Something somewhere is still referring to C:UsersU0159691perl5. Config file, environment variable, something. The output of perl -V would help in further diagnosing, as well as perl -MData::Dumper -e "print Dumper \%ENV"

Looks like we found the problem: `'PERL_MM_OPT' => 'INSTALL_BASE=C:\\Users\\U0159691\\perl5',` [download] right-click "My Computer" and select "Properties" find the "Advanced" system settings (tab along the top or option at the left) click "Environment Variables" find the `PERL_MM_OPT` variable and delete it reboot since hey it's Windows try the installation via `cpan` or `cpanm` again If you can't find it, it's likely being set in some custom config / startup file somewhere, which might be a little harder to track down unless you know where it is. As a side note, you could remove `C:\Users\U0159691\perl5\bin` from your `PATH` while you're at it.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
