Re: File::HomeDir methods my_dist_data and my_dist

I read in the docs:

> Returns the directory path as a string, undef if the current user does not have a data directory, or dies on error.

I get the same result as swl but I suspect both are running portable edition of strawberry so we dont get For example, on Unix you get ~/.foo and on Win32 you get ~/Local Settings/Application Data/.foo as the docs says.


perl -MFile::HomeDir -E"say File::HomeDir->my_data"

C:\EX_D\ulisseDUE\perl5.26.64bit\data

Thanks Discipulus and swl. I am not running the portable edition of StrawberryPerl. I have not modified $IMPLEMENTED_BY (swl). Well, I guess I'll keep poking at it (looking at the code). Examine what is said, not who speaks. Love the truth but pardon error. Silence betokens consent. In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.	[reply]
