in reply to Re^2: Changing Perl compile-time configuration settings
in thread Changing Perl compile-time configuration settings

the only things that needed change were Config.pm and CPAN/Config.pm

If you don't make any changes to Config_heavy.pl there will still be a number of config values pointing to the original location. I would think that would break something sooner or later.

Though, I guess, perhaps the amendments made in CPAN/Config.pm override those Config_heavy.pl settings ? (I have no experience with CPAN.pm.)

Cheers,
Rob

    CPAN's Config.pm almost always overrides Perl's Config.pm and Config_heavy.pm, but that's almost some modules sometimes ignore the parameters CPAN hands to the make utility and ask Perl (usually via use Config; in Makefile.PL) directly for things, often resulting in the compile borking.

    I'm looking at you Glib...
