Re: perl -V

Q1: AFAIK there are 2 ways of externally modifying @INC

1. PERL5LIB environment-variable
2. -I<directory-to-library>

Q2: only the directories in @INC, and not subdirectories are searched for modules. Of course for the module Data::Dumper all directories in @INC would be searched for a subdirectory called 'Data', with a file called Dumper.pm.

Many thanks. Is there a way to ask perl which directories in @INC are "built-ins" (from the build), vs. "user-added" (via -I or PERLLIB or PERL5LIB activity?)	[reply]

Use the toolkit. `env -i perl -V` [download] Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply] [d/l]
