Re^6: ActiveState and Config.pm Question

chromatic,
I certainly was. So then this problem really should be address with ActiveState then. When you download their zip file (look ma - no installation), you get a Config.pm with entries in the hash containing: C:\TEMP\perl-------------------------------------------please-run-the-install-script------------------------------------------\bin It isn't that I should expect something that hasn't been installed to be psychic to know where you have installed it, but it could do a better job of explaining the problem. FWIW - I looked for an install script or some documentation on what to do to fix this and came up with nothing.

I suppose I have to educate myself on the Config process now just so I won't make such an obvious oversight again. Cheers and thanks for clarifying.

Cheers - L~R

Ah, now I understand. That code in Config.pm isn't part of std perl, its something that ActiveState must have added. Yes, it's definitely something you'd have to raise with them rather than via perlbug. NB - you can use perlbug to report a bug in something like CGI.pm; anything that's bundled in the core becomes our responsibility (although we're likely to pass the report straight onto the author for fixing ;-) Dave.
