Place your `sitecustomize.pl` anywhere in perls lib path as `sitecustomize.pm` and set the environment variable `PERL5OPT` to `-Msitecustomize` - that should do the trick with strawberry. perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Hey! That's something new that I've never considered! Must give it a try. One thing that I don't want to do extra module way is because I have to `use` that module everywhere ( scripts and other modules ) and I am 200% sure I don't want to deal with this mess. But this trick make the change transparent! Thanks for the advise! Love it! =D	[reply] [d/l]

You can even place your siteconfig.pm in a custom directory (or just link it thereto), e.g. `X:\myconfig\perl` and set PERL5OPT to `-IX:\myconfig\perl -Msiteconfig`, so you don't have to mess with installation paths at all. On my system (Linux): `# file /tmp/perl/siteconfig.pm print "loaded " . __FILE__ . " from $INC[0]\n"; shift @INC; # done with files in /tmp/perl 1;` [download] `qwurx [shmem] ~> env PERL5OPT='-I/tmp/perl -Msiteconfig' perl -e 1 loaded /tmp/perl/siteconfig.pm from /tmp/perl` [download] The `shift @INC` restores the original `@INC` perl lib search path array. Comment it out if that config directory contains more of your custom modules which should be found first. This is all in perlrun, which is worth reading thoroughly. perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Then either create a config module to store this and switch to Strawberry or pay ActiveState for their services. Update: but you already knew that.	[reply]
