Subject: Portable - Oct2009-beta2 - cpan does not work
After I have run portableshell.bat and then launch command "cpan" I have got the following error: ############# ---------------------------------------------- Welcome to Strawberry Perl Portable Edition! * URL - http://www.strawberryperl.com/ * see README.portable.TXT for more info ---------------------------------------------- Perl executable: D:\strawberry-oct\perl\bin\perl.exe Perl version : 5.10.1 Microsoft Windows XP [Verze 5.1.2600] (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp. D:\strawberry-oct09>cpan CPAN.pm panic: Found invalid lockfile 'C:\strawberry\cpan\.lock', please remove. Cannot proceed. D:\strawberry-oct09> ############# Note: in c:\strawberry I have another copy of strawberry perl installed but I guess that it should not be a problem as the portable one is at beginning of my PATH. -- kmx
kmx: This is a side-effect of RT#50062, it looks like. (the Portable stuff got put into the perl/vendor that is not shifted.) I'm trying a patch that MIGHT fix the problem. If so, I'll fix a few other bugs and release a beta3 of portable only in short order.

OK, before beta3 we should probably fix also portableshell.bat discussed here http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=49948#txn-670170 If you agree with proposed change in #49948 I can change it and commit to SVN - kmx

Yes. Do it.
