Oh, well. It just shows I am not a windows user :-0) That's probably better.... ... but now that I tried those I get "Missing shortcut" messages for I think everything except the CPAN shell. In addition it would be great if there was an IDE coming with Strawberry Perl as I know recall my clients usually start by clicking on ppm after they installed ActivePerl.
