Re^7: empty @INC in fresh compile of 5.12.2 on win32

Wow sorry, I don't see anything troublesome now either.

Here is how I prep my version

the only thing you do differently is you use inc_version_list and build for 64bits using msvs6, where as I build for win32 using gcc (GCC) 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3)

Do you have "Software\Perl" in your registry? Did you run nmake test?

Your version doesn't even use win32_get_sitelib()

Hmm, that could be a problem update: yup, looks like its a bug in perl.c in S_init_perllib(pTHX)

#ifndef PRIVLIB_EXP
#  define PRIVLIB_EXP "/usr/local/lib/perl5:/usr/local/lib/perl"
#endif

#if defined(WIN32)
    s = win32_get_privlib(PERL_FS_VERSION, &len);
    if (s)
    incpush_use_sep(s, len, INCPUSH_ADD_SUB_DIRS|INCPUSH_CAN_RELOCATE)
+;
#else
#  ifdef NETWARE
    S_incpush_use_sep(aTHX_ PRIVLIB_EXP, 0, INCPUSH_CAN_RELOCATE);
#  else
    S_incpush_use_sep(aTHX_ STR_WITH_LEN(PRIVLIB_EXP), INCPUSH_CAN_REL
+OCATE);
#  endif
#endif

PRIVLIB_EXP isn't used when defined on win32

Heck, even SITELIB_EXP seems to be ignored

#ifdef SITELIB_EXP
#  if defined(WIN32)
    /* this picks up sitearch as well */
    s = win32_get_sitelib(PERL_FS_VERSION, &len);
    if (s)
        incpush_use_sep(s, len, INCPUSH_ADD_SUB_DIRS|INCPUSH_CAN_RELOC
+ATE);
#  else
    S_incpush_use_sep(aTHX_ STR_WITH_LEN(SITELIB_EXP), INCPUSH_CAN_REL
+OCATE);
#  endif
#endif

This looks very much geared toward ActivePerl, they don't compile using INST_VER/INST_VER, and they use the registry.
