Looks like I'm the culprit here :) Comping to this thread late, so i'll hop in from some scattered quotes:
> Some people have Perl without a compiler -- this looks like a Windows > ActiveState Perl setup. Yes, it's activestate 5.8.7 on a win2k box -- Binary build 815 [211909], built 11/2/2005. > This smoker does seem to have a compiler but it is not set up right. yeah, apparently i just have nmake.exe, and not the other moving parts on this box. > I didn't get the impression this person was doing a single report - he is > 16th on the leader board of test submissions. But only 200 reports have been sent from this box. The bulk of the others have been from the methodology described in the "rfc: pen drive smoker howto" thread from a knoppix livecd. The reports in question here were generated with the snippet from the 'rfc: "safer" smoking' thread, where i was attempting to test what i've currently got, as opposed to full smoking (which i wouldn't do on this box, since it's a home desktop). --david
