Glenn,
Sorry about not giving all the info.
Here is the lay out of the work environment.
LAN/WAN environment, individual PC's. Application is run local on each PC Latest version is on a Central Server that everyone has access to. Currently the application connects to the server and reads a Version file to determine the latest release of Code.
Right, and a separately updated version file was avoided in my scheme of putting the version in the filename. This separately updated version file sounded like it was problematical to you in one of your messages.
If the latest version is newer than the Version the user is running they are prompted with a upgrade now/cancel option.
I have all the above working. The trouble I have is that I want to run the application with a -v option and the application will tell the user its Version number.
I now believe that there is no way I can do this if I want to use the --gui option to create the exe.
If you really want to tell the USER its version number, Win32::MsgBox could be the answer, like I first suggested.
But it sounded like you wanted to tell some _program_ the version number via STDOUT. That may not be possible, together with the --gui option, because --gui causes there not to be a STDOUT.
Thanks to all for the assistance
Jimmy
