Hi, I am already running windows cmd.exe but I guess MKS runs its own config scripts at cmd.exe startup or windows startup somewhere (not sure) . That is why I am searching for which script & where to turn off ?	[reply]

I guess MKS runs its own config scripts at cmd.exe startup or windows startup somewhere (not sure) That's an abominable state of affairs !! Is perl itself crippled by this affliction ? For example, does `perl -e "print $^X"` output `C:Perl64perlbinperl.exe`, or is it just the cpan shell that suffers ? If the problem is limited to the cpan shell you might be able to work around the problem by simply not using it. I never use the cpan shell - in fact I won't even use cpan.pm (or any of its variants) unless the module I'm trying to install has an appallingly long list of pre-requisites.

That's an abominable state of affairs !! Is perl itself crippled by this affliction ? everything is affected, its a registry hack reg query "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor" But that "feature" has got to be one of the dumbest malware/jokes msdn played	[reply]

Here is output: `C:\Users>perl -e "print $^X" C:\Perl64\perl\bin\perl.exe C:\Users>` [download] But I tried without cpan shell using source. and I am able to write Makefile but dmake.exe gives same error. `C:\Perl64\cpan\build\Perl-Tidy-20121207-joTgGx>dmake C:Perl64perlbinperl.exe: not found dmake: Error code 255, while making 'blib\lib\Perl\.exists'` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
