WPeacock has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have found it necessary to expand upon a CPAN module. (Unicode::CharName goes up to Unicode 4.1; I need some characters from Unicode 5.0 & 5.1).

I've made the changes needed and have my own CharName.pm module.

I now would like to use it with my various Perls. I currently use

  • Strawberry Perl for Windosw
  • git for Windows MINGW64; My .bashrc sets $PATH to Strawberry perl and $PERL5LIB=/c/Strawberry/perl/vendor/lib:/c/Strawberry/perl/site/lib
  • WSL Ubuntu

    • Where should I put my version of Unicode::CharName, so that it over-rides the ones installed by CPAN.
