Okay, tested just copying the Perl folder to E drive and it worked. I
uninstalled perl and deleted the folders from my hard drive for testing
purposes, burned perl folder onto the CD, deleted eg and html folders for
space but it wasn't really necessary, there's plenty of room.

There would be nothing in the registry. The path to perl.exe would have to

Every other array element is a key and every other one is data. A loop,
