( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I have been wanting to post more about scrabble-esque games, but I have an implementation problem that I am still struggling with. I've installed Strawberry perl, as well as git for windows, as well as a batch file from git that is to start Strawberry perl correctly which, unfortunately, I lack a reference for. The one I am going to post here has been altered from the original so as to be more verbose, at least until I get this ironed out.

As I keep working with this script, I keep commenting out the things that I don't need. After grinding this out for a few weeks, more of it is commented out than not:

C:\Strawberry>rem @echo off C:\Strawberry>rem set drive=C:\Strawberry\ C:\Strawberry>rem set drivep= C:\Strawberry>rem If $#\#$==$#~-1drive:~0,-1 C:\Strawberry>rem set PATH=\perl\site\bin;\perl\bin;\c\bin;C:\Windows\ +system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\Wind +owsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH\;C:\Strawberry\c\bin; +C:\Strawberry\perl\site\bin;C:\Strawberry\perl\bin;C:\Program Files\P +uTTY\;C:\Program Files\Git\cmd;C:\Users\tblaz\perl5\bin;%USERPROFILE% +\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps; C:\Strawberry>rem see what values I'm replacing C:\Strawberry>set TERM Environment variable TERM not defined C:\Strawberry>set PERL_JSON_BACKEND Environment variable PERL_JSON_BACKEND not defined C:\Strawberry>set PERL_YAML_BACKEND Environment variable PERL_YAML_BACKEND not defined C:\Strawberry>rem see values other perl stuff on your system C:\Strawberry>set PERL5LIB PERL5LIB=C:\Users\tblaz\perl5\lib\perl5 C:\Strawberry>set PERL5OPT Environment variable PERL5OPT not defined C:\Strawberry>set PERL_MM_OPT PERL_MM_OPT=INSTALL_BASE=C:\\Users\\tblaz\\perl5 C:\Strawberry>set PERL_MB_OPT PERL_MB_OPT=--install_base "C:\\Users\\tblaz\\perl5" C:\Strawberry>rem set env variables C:\Strawberry>set TERM=dumb C:\Strawberry>set PERL_JSON_BACKEND=JSON::XS C:\Strawberry>set PERL_YAML_BACKEND=YAML C:\Strawberry>rem avoid collisions with other perl stuff on your syste +m C:\Strawberry>rem set PERL5LIB= C:\Strawberry>set PERL5OPT= C:\Strawberry>set PERL_MM_OPT= C:\Strawberry>set PERL_MB_OPT= C:\Strawberry>echo ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- C:\Strawberry>echo Welcome to Strawberry Perl Portable Edition!

I would try to use my script for generating the tags for a write-up and would get this:

C:\Users\tblaz\Documents\evelyn>perl 8.monktag.pl INC is C:/Strawberry/perl/site/lib C:/Strawberry/perl/vendor/lib C:/St +rawberry/perl/lib Can't locate Win32.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Win32 modul +e) (@INC contains: C:/Strawberry/perl/site/lib C:/Strawberry/perl/ven +dor/lib C:/Strawberry/perl/lib) at C:/Strawberry/perl/lib/Cwd.pm line + 605. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

Then I noticed that one of the directories that had this was given my the directory in PERL5LIB. Indeed, when I comment the line out that resets this, then the script works. So I have results, yay, ...but, I would like to pause to ask whether I am doing something stupid that I will regret.

Is PERL5LIB set to null for a reason? Am I setting up my system to be playing a tug-of-war? I have 3 different perls on this system. Should they have a single common place for new modules? In the past (distant), it's seemed like the mingw install starts to fight with strawberry perl and eventually wins, leaving the strawberry perl install outmoded and dusty.

Is being the directory in PERL5LIB how this value entered @INC? Also, am I doing anything useful with the following commands?

C:\Strawberry>set TERM=dumb C:\Strawberry>set PERL_JSON_BACKEND=JSON::XS C:\Strawberry>set PERL_YAML_BACKEND=YAML C:\Strawberry>rem avoid collisions with other perl stuff on your syste +m C:\Strawberry>rem set PERL5LIB= C:\Strawberry>set PERL5OPT= C:\Strawberry>set PERL_MM_OPT= C:\Strawberry>set PERL_MB_OPT=

I hope to get back into less implementation-specific issues soon.

Thanks for your comment,

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
