Re: installing perl 5.12.3

Run this program and add the output to your .bashrc or .bash_profile or autoexec.bat

#!/usr/bin/perl --
use strict;
use warnings;

use Config;

Main( @ARGV );
exit( 0 );

sub Main {
    my $sep = $Config{path_sep};
    my $pat = 'export PATH=%s$PATH';
    $pat = 'set PATH=%s%%PATH%%'  if $sep eq ';' ;

    printf "$pat\n", join $sep, (
        uniq(
            grep length,
            grep defined,
            map { $Config{$_} }
            qw' installsitebin installvendorbin installbin '
        ),
      ),
      '';
}
sub uniq (@) {
    my %seen = ();
    grep { not $seen{$_}++ } @_;
}

__END__

The output looks like

export PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH

set PATH=c:\perl\5.12.2\bin\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread;c:\perl\site\5.12
+.2\bin;c:\perl\5.12.2\bin;%PATH%

It is based on

+llsitescript  -V:installvendorscript  -V:installscript
installsitebin='c:\perl\5.12.2\bin\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread';

installsitescript='c:\perl\site\5.12.2\bin';
installvendorscript='';
installscript='c:\perl\5.12.2\bin';

$ perl -V:installsitebin  -V:installvendorbin  -V:installbin  -V:insta

Bah, that should be `#!/usr/bin/perl -- use strict; use warnings; use Config; Main( @ARGV ); exit( 0 ); sub Main { my $sep = $Config{path_sep}; my $pat = 'export PATH=%s$PATH'; $pat = 'set PATH=%s%%PATH%%' if $sep eq ';' ; printf "$pat\n", join $sep, ( uniq( grep length, grep defined, map { $Config{$_} } qw' installsitebin installvendorbin installbin installsitescript installvendorscript installscript ' ), ), ''; } sub uniq (@) { my %seen = (); grep { not $seen{$_}++ } @_; } __END__` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
