Re: Re: CPAN Config question on Win2000

That's something I'll take a look as I do find using "junk" path names like that a bit offensive.

Anyhow, thanks for the links. I see that there's lots of other usefull looking things/information there as well.

<chuckle>re: Advice:
Actually I used to really hate path names like that and like you refused to use them for much. However, time seems to wear one down eventually and I gave in to it. Additionally, I had become a little gun-shy regarding installing Win progs in directories other than their "defaults", as sometimes things just didn't work easily when I did. So, since it was an install of MS Visual Studio, I just let it rip. Everything I create goes in a "rationally" named path. ;-)

I had become a little gun-shy regarding installing Win progs in directories other than their "defaults", Yep, ive found this is true on occasion as well. More with office than with VDS though. Ive quite happily run VDS off of x:\VDS for a long time. :-) . I see that there's lots of other usefull looking things/information there as well. I have to admit that was the main reason I pointed you there. Lots of good stuff to fill just this kind of gap. I think of it as the "windowy unix toolkit for windows" (especially pstools) :-) Anyway.
