in thread Flummoxed by strict.pm

BrowserUK,

Thanks for the suggestion. This is what I got on the command line:

C:\>perl -V:archlib -V:installsiteli archlib='C:\Perl64\lib'; installsitelib='C:\Perl64\site\lib';

Still the same error message

But thanks for the suggestion

    And if you do

    dir C:\Perl64\lib\s*.pm

      Thanks, BrowserUK.

      strict.pm appears to be there, but I still get the same error message

      Thanks again for your interest and time

        Sorry for the 20 questions, but that's remote debugging. What happens if you change the first line to just:#! perl?

      I had a similar problem. I was getting this error: Can't locate strict.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl64/site/lib C:/Perl64/lib .) at -e line 1. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1. perl64\lib did not have strict.pm (and many other files were also missing - i dont know how). A clean re-install fixed the issue. Thanks for posting this check. -Nishant
