in reply to Re^7: standard library to return system paths
in thread standard library to return system paths
Hi,
be aware there is a difference between the system library path and the perl module path.
Perl always knows where it's modules are installed.
On your shell:
perl -VThe output on linux could look like this:
@INC: /usr/lib/perl5/... /usr/lib64/perl5/...
If you can install CPAN modules, you can use them.
As I understand File::BaseDir (you refer to it in your question) is also not an core module, so someone installed it. Maybe the result of File::BaseDir on the windows machine is empty because it's not installed there.
