Sorry about the previous uninformative title. Attached is a fixed version of Config.pm for MacPerl. It incorporates two levels of fixes, defining variables which were not defined SUBVERSION='' useshrplib='' libperl='' baserev='' d_sigaction='' bincompat3='' useperlio='' d_sfio='' ld='' and altering the test for definition so it will not throw a warning for a value which is 'undef' $summary =~ s/\$(\w+)/$Config{$1} if defined($Config{$1})/ge; to replace $summary =~ s/\$(\w+)/$Config{$1}/ge; Hope this helps. >Sorry if this is a known bug; the archive did not pop it up for me... > >Config.pm subroutine myconfig seems to throw warnings as shown below. >Has anyone fixed this for all 10 warnings?

Shell variables from the F<config.sh> file (written by Configure) are stored in the readonly-variable C<%Config>, indexed by their names. Values stored in config.sh as 'undef' are returned as undefined values. The perl C<exists> function can be used to check if a named variable exists. =over 4 =item myconfig() Returns a textual summary of the major perl configuration values. See also C<-V> in L<perlrun/Switches>. =item config_sh() Returns the entire perl configuration information in the form of the original config.sh shell variable assignment script. =item config_vars(@names) Prints to STDOUT the values of the named configuration variable. Each is printed on a separate line in the form: name='value'; Names which are unknown are output as C<name='UNKNOWN';>. See also C<-V:name> in L<perlrun/Switches>. =back =head1 EXAMPLE Here's a more sophisticated example of using %Config: use Config; use strict; my %sig_num; my @sig_name; unless($Config{sig_name} && $Config{sig_num}) { die "No sigs?"; } else { my @names = split ' ', $Config{sig_name}; @sig_num{@names} = split ' ', $Config{sig_num}; foreach (@names) { $sig_name[$sig_num{$_}] ||= $_; } } print "signal #17 = $sig_name[17]\n"; if ($sig_num{ALRM}) { print "SIGALRM is $sig_num{ALRM}\n"; } =head1 WARNING Because this information is not stored within the perl executable itself it is possible (but unlikely) that the information does not relate to the actual perl binary which is being used to access it. The Config module is installed into the architecture and version specific library directory ($Config{installarchlib}) and it checks the perl version number when loaded. =head1 NOTE This module contains a good example of how to use tie to implement a cache and an example of how to make a tied variable readonly to those outside of it. =cut
