#1 bytes.pm absent

[Burak Gürsoy]

Hello,

I have bug report and a question:

1) When I run "sample.pl", I got this error:

ERROR(Can't locate bytes.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
\system\libs\perl\5.9.3\thumb-symbian
\system\libs\perl\5.9.3
\system\libs\perl\siteperl\5.9.3\thumb-symbian
\system\libs\perl\siteperl\5.9.3 \system\libs\perl .)
at E:\system\libs\perl\5.9.3\Data/Dumper.pm line 641.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
E:\system\libs\perl\5.9.3\Data/Dumper.pm line 641.
Compilation failed in require at (eval 1) line 2.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 1) line 2.
)

so, bytes is not compatible with symbian? Currently I
have to do the BEGIN{package bytes;$INC{'bytes.pm'}
=1} trick. I also tried to install bytes.pm and
bytes_heavy.pl from my ActivePerl 5.8.6 installation
and I did not get any errors...

Also there is an uninitialized warning from
DynaLoader line 65:
push(@dl_library_path, split(' ',
$Config::Config{libpth}));
it looks like $Config::Config{libpth} does not exist.

Also what about utf8 and/or Encode? These two
probably won't be needed much, since the overall
symbian port is new, but I want to know the status :)

2) And when I by-pass bytes error I see that %ENV is
empty. will it be empty in the future or will there
be any keys in it? Maybe the os version?
