As far as I know the Win32 modules are interfaces for system calls/subsystems that exist ONLY on Windows (hence the name). For example the Win32::TieRegistry module allows you to query and manipulate the _Windows_ registry, which does *not* exist on Unix/Linux. I think you are out of luck...when you use a Win32 module you loose Perl's portability; to reclaim it you must conditionally code equivalent functionally for non-Windows OSs. If your target environment is guaranteed to be Windows, all is well, otherwise there is a lot of work to do... :) Aloha => Beau; -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
