If you want to run Perl 5.10 you will need to rebuild your binary Perl modules, or install them from another source like a PPM. Building from source is not trivial on Windows, although you could try Strawberry Perl. Best to just stay with Perl 5.8 for now. _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
