Hi Gerald, Yes, it's based on the sources of build 633 of ActiveState. I've also included the ppm utility for adding packages; some adjustments in Perl/site/lib/ppm.xml may be needed if Perl is installed to other than C:/Perl/. Competely off-topic, but I would like to be able to make up an msi package of this, so different components could be installed to desired locations, and a script then run to adjust accordingly the various config files. I got an add-on to Visual Studio to make msi packages, but as near as I can tell, you have to add files one at a time, which is a bit tedious ... Obviously there's a better way - if anyone's familiar with this, could you drop me a mine, privately? Thanks. best regards, randy
