Thanks for the clear and complete explanation (which I've snipped).
I now understand.

Seems a pity to limit this service to PPM4 only.
Admittedly, for those builds with an earlier version of PPM, there's that 
problem (re the core modules) with the order of the @INC paths ... but it's 
fairly easy to switch them around with the PERL5OPT environment variable:

C:\_32>perl -le "print $_ for @INC"
C:/_32/ap819/site/lib
C:/_32/ap819/lib
.

C:\_32>set PERL5OPT=-Mlib=C:/_32/ap819/lib

C:\_32>perl -le "print $_ for @INC"
C:/_32/ap819/lib
C:/_32/ap819/site/lib
.

Then again .... maybe that would be just one *more* source of confusion.

Cheers,
Rob
