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

===========================
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)
