Re^3: Cygwin Perl: Question about default @INC

Yes. I understand that.

The system didn't start out that way.

The sequence was :
(1) install Active State Perl (Perl 5.6)
(2) install Cygwin (Perl 5.8)
(3) upgrade Active State (to Perl 5.10)
(4) upgrade Cygwin (changed Perl installation to AS Perl 5.10)

What happened appears to be that the upgrade of Cygwin used the upgrade of Active State Perl.

I'm not saying that I have the "answer". I am just presenting some "weird stuff" that I've personally seen re: Cygwin.

Not a weird thing. It seems that your Cygwin PATH environment variable points to ActiveState Perl before the /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin directory where Cygwin's Perl resides. Check it out by typping on bash: `$ echo $PATH` [download] Assuming Cygwin Perl is installed in /usr/bin: `$ /usr/bin/perl -V` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
