in reply to Replicate Perl environment

You can use the autobundle of your "old" Perl to install the modules on a "new" Perl. Everything will be freshly downloaded/compiled/installed as necessary.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James

Re^2: Replicate Perl environment

    Thanks for the advice

    I've tried 5.12.3.0-64bit and 5.16.2.1-64bit. With both I succeeded to replicate the environment, although a few sub processes of the install process crashed. It didn't accomplish to install Win32:SystemInfo. It noted that it could only be done with force. When I performed that I got the same situation as bug 83237

    What I just found out is that the old version (environment) was 32 bit instead of 64.....

      Installed 5.16.2.1-32bit version of Strawberry Perl and no problems with Win32::SystemInfo so my conclusion was right, there is something incompatible with 64 bits version of Perl and Win32:SystemInfo

      Will update bugreport #83237
