Short-name alias to "Program Files" already exists, and might be called PROGRA~1.

I tried that. It didn't work well. The path would get expanded at times, and end up in the hands of something that couldn't handle the spaces.

Point is, it does not always work

I can personally attest that using a path other than a subdir of the root always works. None of my dozen installs are directly under the root, and I've installed thousands of modules (PP and XS, ppm and cpan). It's using a path with spaces that causes problems.

which is why they still put it off the root.

Like I said when you first said this, it isn't true. ActivePerl lets you choose where you want to put it. Only Strawberry Perl puts it in the root.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
