Re^6: using perl installed in another computer

Hello there!

I am implementing your suggestion and noticed that there were a couple of config.pm's in the perl directory.

Eg:
C:\Perl\Lib
C:\Perl\Lib\CPAN
C:\Perl\lib\Encode
C:\Perl\lib\Net
C:\Perl\site\lib 
etc...
[download]

Which config.pm file would need to be updated? all?

Thanks in advance.

I only ever updated the one in perl\lib - the CPAN, Encode, and Net directories have configurations for themselves which should be ok. I don't have one in perl\site\lib - so that may need to be kept in sync with the one in perl\lib, if you need to keep it at all (which I doubt). And please keep the correct capitalisation: it's "Config.pm" not "config.pm" - it's a bad idea to treat these filenames as case insensitive since perl treats the contents case sensitively. It'll just make a mess in one's head to ignore the case. As others have pointed out, "use config" may not end up crashing perl, but it usually won't work as intended either.	[reply]
