in thread Use of %INC ?

Post JavaFan correction: Ignore this please for it is disinformation. Or, run s[\%INC][\@INC]g before reading.

Use it when you are trying to see just what kind of gunk^Wdirectory paths %INC is filled up with, when you know you have installed a module but perl is failing to find one.

Other similar use is when trying to sort out the module paths, say to clean up the duplicates.

Well, that is when I personally (have) use(d) %INC anyway.

Use it when you are trying to see just what kind of gunk^Wdirectory paths %INC is filled up with, when you know you have installed a module but perl is failing to find one. Actually, in such a case `@INC` is far more useful than `%INC`. `%INC` just gives you information where Perl actually has found a module it loaded - it doesn't give you much useful information if it couldn't find a module. Other similar use is when trying to sort out the module paths, say to clean up the duplicates. Again, in that case, `@INC` is far more useful than `%INC`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
