Re: sitecustomize.pl equivalent on Strawberry Perl?

Hello exilepanda,

The obvious answer is to copy your existing sitecustomize.pl file into the site/lib directory of your Strawberry distribution. But that will work only if the perl executable has been built with the appropriate compiler option, namely -DUSE_SITECUSTOMIZE (see the discussion of the -f flag in perlrun).

Looking at the Strawberry Perls installed on my computer, and also at the various Release Notes under http://strawberryperl.com/releases.html, the last Strawberry Perl executable I can find that was compiled with the -DUSE_SITECUSTOMIZE flag set is v5.12.3. I have no idea why the good folks at Strawberry began omitting that flag from version 5.14 onwards.

Sorry, :-(

I have no idea why the good folks at Strawberry began omitting that flag from version 5.14 onwards I don't know either but my assumption is that it would have been no longer deemed necessary. exilepanda, could you provide us with examples of the things that sitecustomize.pl needs to set (and which Strawbeery Perl is failing to set) ? (Maybe there's a simple solution.) Cheers, Rob	[reply]

I am on 5.24. I will need sitecustomize for something like this : `#1. export a global sharable variable require Exporter; our @ISA = qw/Exporter/; our @EXPORT = qw/%GV/; our %GV = (....); #2. add more Lib path push @INC, "D:/Lib/$ENV{SERVER_NAME}" if ($ENV{REMOTE_ADDR}) ; #3. define some dynamic path $ENV{MyData} = "D:/UsrData/Guest/"; $ENV{MyData} = "D:/UsrData/$ENV{USER}" if (length $ENV{USER});` [download] Though I got `-f don't do $sitelib/sitecustomize.pl at startup` from `perl -h`. But no different with/without it.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
