in thread Config.pm file and @INC array

The error message means that you don't have the Config module installed

Config is not an installable module. Config is not just a part of Perl, it's built along with Perl. (It contains build options and system capabilities.) Something's very wrong here since Perl can't find itself.

    Thanks for the clarification. I thought It'd be something like that and was confused by the fact that neither the search.cpan.org perl core module list nor perl -MModule::CoreList -e 'Module::CoreList->first_release("Config")' showed it, but this makes perfect sense of course.

    Update: and of course, the search.cpan.org list does show it, it's just under "Documentation" rather than "Modules". sigh


    All dogma is stupid.

      As some happy coincidence(?), search.cpan.org is actually finding the pod parts of Config.pm in configpm, the tool that builds Config.pm. Most of the documentation is missing on search.cpan.org (appearing only as $c) because the pod is generated as well.
