in reply to Modifying Config.pm and/or Config_heavy.pl

Why do you want to modify Config.pm? Don't.

If you need the perl config for subsequent building of perl, use

perl -MConfig=config_sh -e 'print config_sh()' > config.sh

and edit config.sh.

Editing the Config.pm for any other purpose doesn't make sense and will break things.

--shmem

_($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                              /\_¯/(q    /
----------------------------  \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."·
");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}

    I think that, in general, that's an excellent rule .... and there are exceptions that prove that rule :-)
