That explains why it works when you just use: Require 'includes/28ESP.pl'
That path is relative from the script path. Otherwise, you could try: Require '/my documents/iismk/bluepoint/esp/28 esp/28 esp system/includes/28ESP.pl'; (or start it with 'c:/my documents....' to give it a "more" absolute path).

On XP Pro, SP2, that is.... Doug, you're screwing our minds over. If the above works, then you must be in the directory above the required script.
