Yes, I agree with everything you say, including how it's not right. I log in as Administrator to Win NT, and the folders are there, and PPM.pm is there, but D:/Perl/5.6.1/site/lib is not in @INC. All I can think is that it's because the installer I used has a bug, or it has something to do with installing on D:/ instead of C:/. I did have to install a new installer beforehand, InstMsi.exe, 1,821,008 bytes. If I could successfully change @INC, I could kludge it to work.. but I'd prefer to figure out why it does this.
