With Win32 the install location is dependent upon options that you specify
in the Win32/Makefile when you build
perl. (Worth browsing through the configurable section of the
Makefile/Makefile.mk to see what's there.) Wrt ActiveState perl, as you
probably know, it installs into something like C:/perl. You can also build a
perl on Win32 that installs into something like C:/perl/5.8.7 by specifying
(in the Win32/Makefile) that you want your perl to be versioned. Here's what
the Makefile contains:
-------------------------------
#
# Comment this out if you DON'T want your perl installation to be versioned.
# This means that the new installation will overwrite any files from the
# old installation at the same INST_TOP location. Leaving it enabled is
# the safest route, as perl adds the extra version directory to all the
# locations it installs files to. If you disable it, an alternative
# versioned installation can be obtained by setting INST_TOP above to a
# path that includes an arbitrary version string.
#
#INST_VER = \5.8.7
-----------------------------
ActiveState, by leaving the Makefile like that, ensure that perl installs
into a non-versioned location (eg C:/perl).
Include that line, however, and perl will install into a versioned location
(eg C:/perl/5.8.7).
For nix type operating systems, the INSTALL file that ships with the perl
source would be a good reference. See also (in the perl source) the
README.OS files (where "OS" stands for a number of specific operating
systems - 'cygwin', 'win32', etc).
Hth.
Cheers,
Rob

Thanks, that's good to know.

Greetings,
Where I work they have this PITA sort of kind of like a EULA that pops
up on my screen (in a notepade.exe window) when I authenticate into
the mothership. So, naturally I resented the hell out of it. The
obligitory mouse click is not to be tolerated till at least after
lunch. So I wrote this little diddy. Have a look, it's very simple.
I was hoping for comments about how to make it faster, to optimize it.
I hope the misc part of the NG's name is comprehensive, so I stay on
topic.
use Win32::Process;
use Win32::OLE('in');
$sobj = Win32::OLE->GetObject(
'winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}')
or die "can't create server object: ".Win32::OLE->LastError( )."\n";
$i = 99;
while ( $i ) {
foreach $process (in $sobj->InstancesOf("Win32_Process")){
push (@list, " $process->{Name} , $process->{ProcessID} \n");
}
foreach(@list) { if ((/notepad.exe/)||(/NOTEPAD.EXE/)) { # I know
# about //i
$_ =~ s/\D//g;
kill 9, $_ ;
$i = 0;
}
}
}
