Hm. I managed to re-create your scenario (I used 'fred' rather than 'user'). Create a directory below perl:
Set perl5lib to point at it:
Issue the area init command:
And there it is initialised:
C:\Perl64>ppm area list ┌───────┬──────┬────────────────────┐ │ name │ pkgs │ lib │ ├───────┼──────┼────────────────────┤ │ fred │ 0 │ c:/perl64/fred │ │ site* │ 256 │ C:/Perl64/site/lib │ │ perl │ 207 │ C:/Perl64/lib │ └───────┴──────┴────────────────────┘ So then I tried to remove it, but there is no area delete command, so, first I wiped out the directory:
And tried area list: C:\Perl64>ppm area list ┌────────┬──────┬────────────────────┐ │ name │ pkgs │ lib │ ├────────┼──────┼────────────────────┤ │ (fred) │ n/a │ c:/perl64/fred │ │ site* │ 256 │ C:/Perl64/site/lib │ │ perl │ 207 │ C:/Perl64/lib │ └────────┴──────┴────────────────────┘ And there it was, I had recreated your symptoms. So now how to get rid of it? The first thing I tried was to delete the PERL5LIB var:
And there it was all gone away: C:\Perl64>ppm area list ┌───────┬──────┬────────────────────┐ │ name │ pkgs │ lib │ ├───────┼──────┼────────────────────┤ │ site* │ 256 │ C:/Perl64/site/lib │ │ perl │ 207 │ C:/Perl64/lib │ └───────┴──────┴────────────────────┘ With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
