If it was a 500 series build, this requires a complete uninstall of Perl prior to the upgrade as the two series are incompatible. From my experience, not only does this fix a number of obscure Perl bugs, but it also resolved some of the PPM problems my company was facing. Of course, I rarely use PPM now. I generally prefer to download the module from the CPAN and use nmake to install the files. If you can't get PPM working, let us know and I'm sure someone can walk you through the CPAN/nmake process. It's very useful as it will allow you access to a much greater range of modules than PPM. Cheers, Curtis "Ovid" Poe ===== Senior Programmer Onsite!
