- Subject: upgrading to perl-5.8.8-4
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?
