I'd heard only bad things about VC Express. Of course, it had been from
people who were knee-jerk anti-MS.

I too was impressed by the appearance of the strawberry perl page. I like
it when it is visually-arresting without being busy and cluttered. I'm
gonna create a user without admin priveleges and install it on that and take
it through its paces.

This is the current contents of my Path system variable:

C:\Program Files\perl3\site\bin;C:\Program
Files\perl3\bin;c:\path\gcc\bin;C:\Program
Files\Silverfrost\FTN95;C:\Perl\site\bin;C:\Perl\bin;c:\ruby\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem

This is, BTW, something that AS perl users on windows need to go in and trim
after installations. The installation that is right off the root I'll trim
out (it's 5.8). It confuses the heck out of windows and linkers at
precisely the wrong time to have one path to one installation and another to
an older one, in particular, in reverse order.

I was wondering why I can use perldoc from a dos window anywhere, and see
that the answer is that the path leads to the binaries, wherein we see
perldoc.bat. I wouldn't have believed for a second that this is how I get
output with the perldoc command:

@rem = '--*-Perl-*--
@echo off
if "%OS%" == "Windows_NT" goto WinNT
perl -x -S "%0" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
goto endofperl
:WinNT
perl -x -S %0 %*
if NOT "%COMSPEC%" == "%SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe" goto endofperl
if %errorlevel% == 9009 echo You do not have Perl in your PATH.
if errorlevel 1 goto script_failed_so_exit_with_non_zero_val 2>nul
goto endofperl
@rem ';
#!perl
#line 15
eval 'exec C:\Program Files\perl3\bin\perl.exe -S $0 $'
if 0;

# This "perldoc" file was generated by "perldoc.PL"

require 5;
BEGIN { $^W = 1 if $ENV }
use Pod::Perldoc;
exit( Pod::Perldoc->run() );


__END__
:endofperl

OK, but why are you listing it.

I have never had to do that. Could you explain what needs to be
trimmed and why? The only thing I can see is that you seem to have
installed Perl twice. Once in a non-default subdirectory of
C:\Program Files.

You also have gcc there which might confuse CPAN.pm or command line
build tools.

Again, why is that hard to believe.

perl --help

-x[directory] strip off text before #!perl line and perhaps cd
to directory

-S look for programfile using PATH environment variable

Did you have a question?
