Crypt::CBC and @INC hassle

monk_breweries has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello, I have to write a one-off Perl program to decrypt zipped archive via Cypher Block Chaining algorithm. I figured out which Perl module to use to achieve my goal and downloaded the required. The problem now is that I am having a real hard time with resolving the unpacked modules and that @INC variable. I have tried it first with ActiveState Perl then turned to Strawberry perl. Over and above this issue, I also face a dll problem (perl85.dll) whenever I try to MCPAN the allegedly missing libraries/modules. Could someone please run an exorcism on my Perl distro or propose a newbie-friendly approach to solving this problem. regards Didier

You're not the first one with such a problem. Try Super Searching for `module install windows` or some such, and you'll get plenty of helpful replies. Or try this query If you installed an up to date perl version (5.10.0) and have problems with perl58.dll, you probably have an outdated perl installation somewhere on your machine that you should remove. Oh, and welcome to the monastery!	[reply] [d/l]

..is that wisdom or what?! I'd rather say Black Magic because I get the feeling that the reply was already on the way while I was typing. Hey thanks Moritz (...could that be Van Nassau the finder of Mauritius Island? ), I'll be checking your suggestions. =) regards, Didier (Monk_breweries attendant)	[reply]
