Yes, that is what I need, a Perl that comes with everything included so the default Windows users can install it with one click and then run all their scripts without thinking about it. I'm looking forward to include more modules as ActiveState does with libwin32 and such alike. Since I have no problems (yet) I will follow the discussion on this list and look if I am able to contribute something useful. Have fun;) Gerrit -- =^..^=
