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 -V

The output on linux could look like this:

@INC:
    /usr/lib/perl5/...
    /usr/lib64/perl5/...
[download]

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.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
