This error is not uncommon amongst Active State builds of perl - but I'm not aware of it having anything to do with perl being installed in 'Program Files'. (Have you actually relocated your perl to a location containing *no* spaces, and then found that this error has diappeared ?) Usually it just seems to be a problem with *some* Active State builds but not others. One simple workaround is to open the 'makefile.pl' and insert the line 'PERL => "$^X",' in the 'WriteMakefile()' section. Does that work for your case ? If so, then what subsequent errors do you receive ? You won't successfully compile a module until you eradicate that error. Cheers, Rob
