adriani has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I recently installed Perl v5.8.8 (build 820) on my windows machine and ever since I've been getting the following output when I run perl for some scripts:

"Set up gcc environment - 3.2.3 (mingw special 20030504-1)"

I think I've narrowed down the problem to ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Config since if I run perl -e "use ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Config;" I get the message. Please can some one tell me how I prevent this message from occuring as it's remarkably irritating.

Re: How do I prevent being told "Set up gcc environment ..." each time I run perl?

    set ACTIVEPERL_CONFIG_SILENT=1

    See 'perldoc ActivePerl::Config' for this and other options.
