Multiple conflicting Perl installations and messed up environment variables are a recurring theme in many posts of this particular monk.

Your characterization might lead to other monks ignoring my posts, and that's a pretty negative effect in my view of how perlmonks should be. I am capable of learning from past mistakes and absorbing advice from the monks, thus the frequency of these "weird problems" has dropped drastically. What's accurate and true is that my Windows systems are (mostly) working fine and I am aware of and in control of all env vars, $PATH, etc. I've stopped using StrawberryPerl entirely and am focused completely on CygPerl at present. I also use Gnu/Linux systems and usually compare problems when they come up to see if I can reproduce the difficulty on Linux. My CPAN module helps me with that. – Soren May 02, 2026 at 16:52 UTC	[reply]
