Thans again for your response
I am not sure what you mean by docs?
I just tested the script on another machine running NT 4.0 and IIS4.0
installe on FAT partition. This suggest that the problem is either
permission issue or perl version issue. How different is Perl 5.005 build
buil d 518 from perl 5.6 build 620?
I think that the issue is either permission issue or perl version issue.
I am afraid that if I move to the latest version of perl I may run into
more problems.
Thank you
Ahmed
