Re^2: PPM installs modules in the wrong place

It's been a while (around 2003) since installation, so I don't remember much other than it wasn't fun. The msi installer didn't work, so I had to abandon 5.8 and install 5.6 from zip and still had trouble. IIRC the installer would die before finishing.

I looked at installer.bat (clever trick, embedding Perl in a batch file) to see what it does, which led me to config.pm where I found a couple dozen references to C:\p4view.... So I took a chance and s/ C:\p4view... / C:\Perl / seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
