No. You cannot just delete an shared perl library. If you delete ./site_perl/5.14/i686-cygwin-threads-64int/auto/Image/Magick/Magick.dll you also need to delete the according pm's, which are listed in the .packlist. Perl searches the @INC path for libraries. site_perl comes before vendor_perl. So if you delete ./site_perl/5.14/i686-cygwin-threads-64int/auto/Image/Magick/Magick.dll alone, your Image::Magic will be broken until you reinstall it via CPAN or delete totally via .packlist. -- Reini Urban http://cpanel.net/ http://www.perl-compiler.org/ -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
