in thread Perl Grant Approved: Improve Perl 5

Yep - if you simply extracted the '.zip' binary builds (rather than install by running 'install.bat' as one is supposed to do) and then ran, eg, 'perl -V:archlib', you'd get:

archlib='C:\p4view\Apps\ActivePerl\MSI\data\ActivePerl\Perl\lib';

I imagine it's still the case, though if you try that with recent builds all you get is:

archlib='C:\TEMP\perl-------------------------------------------please-run-the-install-script------------------------------------------\lib';

In both cases, installing with 'install.bat' would produce the desired results.

Cheers,
Rob
