Hi

I tried this for the $^X example above, and it doesn't help. I wish it did.

C:\Documents and Settings\jim>set PATH=C:\progra~1\perl\bin;%PATH%

C:\Documents and Settings\jim>which perl.exe
C:\progra~1\perl\bin\perl.exe
C:\Program Files\Perl\bin\\perl.exe

C:\Documents and Settings\jim>perl -e "print $^X"
C:\Program Files\Perl\bin\perl.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\jim>

I also tried updating Config.pm to have C:/progra~1/perl. This also didn't help.

Try

use Win32;
use Config();
use File::Spec;
$^X = Win32::GetShortPathName($^X);
do File::Spec->catfile( $Config::Config{bin}, 'cpan.bat' );

Might also want to give CPANPLUS a try.
