Finally remembered that I have another 817 installation on my laptop - and
it I find it works fine. It's just the desktop version that's broken.
Both the desktop and laptop have identical renditions of both Config.pm and
Config_heavy.pl (according to 'diff -u').
It seems to come down to sub AUTOLOAD in Config.pm:
sub AUTOLOAD {
my $config_heavy = 'Config_heavy.pl';
if (defined &ActivePerl::_CONFIG_HEAVY) {
$config_heavy = ActivePerl::_CONFIG_HEAVY();
}
require $config_heavy;
goto \&launcher unless $Config::AUTOLOAD =~ /launcher$/;
die "&Config::AUTOLOAD failed on $Config::AUTOLOAD";
}
If I comment out the 'require $Config_heavy;' in that sub on the laptop's
Config.pm, then I get an identical error to that which I get on the
desktop - presented in my original post and reproduced above, in *this*
post.
I've also verified that on the (broken) desktop, Config_heavy.pl's
launcher() subroutine is never run - even though $Config::AUTOLOAD does not
match /launcher$/ .
Go figure ... it's beat the hell out of me. Something is jiggered (possibly
by me), but I'm damned if I can (yet) work out what.
I get the feeling that if I can get Config_heavy.pl's launcher() subroutine
to load, then my problem will go away. But I haven't yet worked out what
could possibly be preventing it from being run.
Cheers,
Rob
