in thread File::HomeDir strange behavior Perl 5.28

I am not an expert user at all, but this is my experience so far removing (...\perl\vendor\lib\Portable\HomeDir.pm). In order to have <code>File::HomeDir->my_data giving me back the real Windows thing, my Perl installation has the following problem: installing new modules fires error: a new folder strawberry is created under C: where cpan or cpanm try to install the modules, failing. To get modules installed I have to recreate the original (...\perl\vendor\lib\Portable\HomeDir.pm).

    That's a pretty major setback that is, thanks for pointing it out.

    I haven't quite gotten to test this out for myself yet. I've been merging PRs and updating/correcting some other unrelated things for the impending inclusion of berrybrew into hurricup's Camelcade Perl5 Plugin for intelliJ IDEA IDE (which I use for almost all of my Perl development nowadays).

    Should be able to focus on the File::HomeDir situation sometime this week.
