[MacPerl] MPW Perl - PERL5LIB environment variable



Matthias has hardcoded the location of the main libraries folder into the
perl binary, so you don't need to include it in the Perl startup file any
longer. I was reminded of this when I did perl -V and got the following:

Characteristics of this binary (from libperl):
  Compile-time options: MULTIPLICITY
  Built under MacOS
  Compiled at Apr  3 1998 21:45:13
  %ENV:
    PERL5LIB="Buzz:Development:MacPerl Ä:lib:,Buzz:Development:Sdf:perllib:"
  @INC:
    Buzz:Development:MacPerl Ä:lib:MacPPC:
    Buzz:Development:MacPerl Ä:lib:
    Buzz:Development:Sdf:perllib:
    Buzz:Development:MacPerl Ä:lib:MacPPC:
    Buzz:Development:MacPerl Ä:lib:

Eliminating the first folder from the PERL5LIB variable gets rid of the
first two folders in the @INC array. I suppose it doesn't really matter,
but it's kind of nice to keep things clean.

later,
