HelenCr has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I have installed Strawberry Perl 5.16.3 in a Windows 7 system, (which already had DWIM Perl 5.12 installed). I have installed the new Perl in a different top directory, changing the paths in the "PATH" environment variable. Everything seems ok and according to the books.
The problem is, when I run cpanp, it says:
WARNING: terminal is not fully functional - (press RETURN)
and when I try to install a module (which had been installed at the old Perl but is missing in the new Perl, for example: Carp), it returns immediately, reporting (wrongly) in the installation log that the module exists.
In other words, somehow cpanp is not recognizing the new installation, although I have changed the system PATH.
What to do?
Many TIA - Helen
Notes:
- When I go: perl -v it replies:
This is perl 5, version 16, subversion 3 (v5.16.3) built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread
so the new installation got hold; - I entered: >cpan -fi BINGOS/CPANPLUS-0.9136.tar.gz
and it went through the entire installation of cpanp, returned OK; - but it didn't help, same behavior as described above.
Update: solved. See Re^6 below.
