Hi, Just to eliminate the possibility of your problem being some manifest loading issue, I have uploaded a zip file
http://www.wxperl.co.uk/checkperl.zip This contains a single executable 'checkperl.exe' that is really just the perl.exe from Dwimperl with the manifest ripped out. So, if you extract this to C:\Dwimperl\perl\bin and the following works, the problem is in the manifests set PATH=C:\Dwimperl\perl\site\bin;C:\Dwimperl\perl\bin;%PATH% then C:\Dwimperl\perl\site\bin\checkperl.exe -MWin32 -V Cheers Mark On 16/11/2012 16:10, Brad Hodge wrote: > Received no errors on either of those, but the second one ran without > opening Padre. :( > ______________________ > > On Fri, Nov 16, 2012 at 10:06 AM, Mark Dootson<mark.doot...@znix.com>wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> OK.
