Wow, thanks for the quick and wide response. Let's see. With > type this: > perl hw.pl it works! Unfortunately, even after setting PATH, it still gives the same error, whether I type ./hw.pl or just hw.pl. Hmm. I can now run scripts in their proper environment.

Anyway, thanks a bunch for setting my Perl odyssey on the right track! -- Isaac Sherman MotaSoft Software http://www.motaSoftware.com/ Personal Protection Links: http://www.safetyAndSecurity.us http://www.m18.us
