Hi,
When I build a "versioned" 5.10.1-RC1 on Windows, I find that @INC is set to:
C:/perl/5.10.1/lib C:/perl/site/5.10.1/lib .
I would like to have it slightly different:
C:/perl/5.10.1/lib C:/perl/site/5.10.1/lib C:/perl/site/5.10.0/lib .
What's the best way to do that ?

I see that the Win32 makefiles allow for -Duse_sitecustomize, but having enabled that, I can't find a way to get $Config{sitelibexp}/sitecustomize.pl to do anything useful. In fact, I can't even find any evidence that $Config{sitelibexp}/sitecustomize.pl gets run.

Early in Feb 2006 I asked essentially the same question (on p5p), and ysth suggested:

<quote>
To do this you need to manually do what Configure does for you on linux; edit the appropriate win32/config_H.* file and change:
#define PERL_INC_VERSION_LIST 0
to something like
#define PERL_INC_VERSION_LIST "5.8.8","5.8.7","5.8.6",0
</quote>

That seemed reasonable to me, and I think I tried it out and found that it worked - though I'm now not entirely sure that I ever did put it to the test.

Whatever the case, it certainly doesn't work with 5.10.1-RC1. I'm building with MinGW and I've tried both #define PERL_INC_VERSION_LIST "5.10.0" and #define PERL_INC_VERSION_LIST "5.10.0",0 in win32/config_H.gc without success.

Not sure where to go from here.

Cheers,
Rob
