I'm upgrading an older installation of cygwin that was previously running perl 5.6.1 and ran into some problems with @INC:
5.6.1 version perl -V: @INC: /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/cygwin-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/cygwin-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl . 5.8.8 verstion perl -V: @INC: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8/cygwin /usr/lib/perl5/5.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8/cygwin /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8/cygwin /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8 . A few questions arose in the process: 1. Why is /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl not listed on 5.8.8 ? 2. why are there "duplicate" entries for: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8 3. Even though /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8/cygwin and /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8 are listed in @INC, the /lib/perl5/site_perl directory does not get created when the package is installed and is missing. Are these expected behaviours? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
