Yes, this is a Windows message. I've seen this type of error message many times before when someone has attempted to use the Oracle DBI driver without the Oracle client libraries installed on their machine. Windows is looking through your %PATH% environment variable, trying to find a DLL that a software program has tried to link to. The DLL in this case is RASFIL32.DLL, and the software program is perl.exe. You must be using a module that implements RAS capabilities, since that what RASFIL32.DLL is for (perhaps Win32::RASE?) This particular DLL may or may not exist on certain installations, depending on whether you chose RAS/DUN capabilities at install time, or have added them since. If all your machines are on a LAN, this is most likely why the DLL wouldn't be there. Install RAS and you'll get the DLL. The README for Win32::RASE has information on what you have to install to make it work (Note: rerun the latest service pack after you install, because the original NT/Win2k RASFIL32.DLL has a buffer overflow exploit. The service pack won't update the DLL unless it's already there.) Hope this helps. jpt _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
