Well, no it did not, unfortunately. ie #!j:/perl/perl.exe does not work. It comes up with a "cannot spawn child process error." This does not suit anyway as it does not maintain compatibility with my UNIX setup. So I made a path on the SAME drive as Apache the same as on the UNIX box. ie /usr/local/bin I then went to the J:/perl/bin directory and simply copied all the files from there to /usr/local/bin and everything worked. And it keeps my UNIX system happy. Good stuff. While fairly simple in hindsite, perhaps some mention of this might be a good idea in the docs for the Windows version. =A0=A0 Regards Kerry Neighbour --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.allclear2000.com AllClear 2000 Pro, checking your PC for Y2K hardware compliance SIMCOM Software Australia Ph +61-7-3841-3999
