You are probably looking for Config.pm (look at c:\perl\bin\config.pl as well).. I've not used it myself, but there's html and POD docs on them for their use, but I think you'd want to look at modifying these values (to supply your additional library paths): installvendorarch installvendorlib In the Config.pm Good luck.
