Win32::Shortcut (version 0.04) is installed on my system. I'm running ActivePerl build 817.

But on this machine on which I installed ActivePerl build 819, I couldn't find it... I became aware of the issue, when I attempted to run a script that referenced it, and the script couldn't find it. So I found it on my old machine, and copied the .pm and the auto dir, and now things seem to work, but I was surprised not to find it installed by default. A PPM search for it doesn't find it. A CPAN search for it doesn't find it. A Google search find a hit on CPAN ( http://search.cpan.org/src/JDB/libwin32-0.26/Shortcut/docs/reference.html ) as part of libwin32 it appears. Which further convinces me it should be a part of the standard ActivePerl release, because I think libwin32 is part of the standard ActivePerl release. ppm list doesn't list it, nor does it list libwin32 I don't recall ever having to explicitly install Win32::Shortcut from the days I started using it, nor during several installs on new hard disks and new computers, before this time. Can anyone explain what is going on? Can you confirm if your machine running ActivePerl build 819 does or doesn't have Win32::Shortcut? And likewise for build 817 (which I was running before my last hard drive crash)? Earlier versions?
