I didn't think anyone still used that. Still, that is far better than no source code control at all. Isn't failure to use source code control a capital offence where you are? Or is that how the employee became ex :-) > > Recently the client removed 5.6 and put on 5.8; hence our "get.exe" is not getting executed.

I > mean, will this result in chaos later on while coding?? It is certainly possible to have multiple version of Perl. The main problems stem from maintaining multiple versions, and making sure you are using the correct one at any time. Another possibility may be to recover the source code from the executable and make the necessary changes. This should be possible, but exactly how would depend on the tool used to create the executable. This would probably require more effort, but may be a better solution in the long term. Assuming, of course, that "get.exe" has a long enough life expectancy.
