Hello Jan, Thank you (and Michael Ludwig) for your answers! I tried the following guide on MaxMind's site, which I think is the same thing you were suggesting Jan: http://www.maxmind.com/GeoIP_MSCOM_64bit.pdf That worked great and now I can use the 32 bit dll from Perl x64. Thanks again! :-) Francisco _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list ActivePerl@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
