Hi,

I ran into a couple of problems when trying to work through the Visual Perl
Tutorial: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/docs/VisualPerl/demo.html
<http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/docs/VisualPerl/demo.html>  
The problems may be related.

The first problem was that Visual Studio failed to compile the sample code
because it couldn't find C:\Perl\bin\pcl.exe. I poked around and found all
of the Visual Perl stuff under...
C:\Program Files\ActiveState Perl Dev Kit 6.0\. So, I copied the pcl.exe
file to C:\Perl\bin. I also had to copy the contents of the C:\Program
Files\ActiveState Perl Dev Kit 6.0\lib dir to C:\Perl\bin\lib. After that,
the code started compiling.

Now, I'm getting a runtime error when trying to run the "Associate Perl DLL"
demo. It says it "Can't locate perl5db.pl in @INC (@INC contains: .)."

I'm confused. When I do a perl -V from a cmd prompt, it says...

@INC:
   C:\Program Files\ActiveState Perl Dev Kit 6.0\lib   C:/Perl/lib
   C:/Perl/site/lib
   .

Why is @INC empty (except for current working dir, i.e. "." ) when my
compiled app runs? Is my ActiveState install broken? Why didn't the
installer put the new ActiveState stuff under C:\Perl?

FYI - 
I purchased the ActivePerl Pro Studio and installed it after already having
the free version of ActiveState Perl installed in C:\Perl. And Microsoft
Visual Studio.NET was also already installed.

Thanks in advance,

cn
