Hi,
I moved my perl tree from "C:\My Programs" to "C:\"
After hacking the Windows registry and changing references to the old location in the files in the perl base dir
I've got perl working again
However, I cannot get CPAN / nmake to install modules
===== Example =====

  CPAN.pm: Going to build A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-1.76.tar.gz

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

Error: Unable to locate installed Perl libraries or Perl source code.

....
....
(You get this message, because MakeMaker could not find "C:\<b>My Prog
+rams</b>\Perl\lib\CORE\perl.h")
# Looks like your test died before it could output anything.
Running make test
  Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test
Running make install
  Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't install

===========================
How can I edit the

linker -loadpath
libries -libpth
dynamic linking -libpath

to remove references to "My Programs"?
Any pointers would be much appreciated, Barry Keeling (barry@foxbat.demon.co.uk)
