There are definitely path issues. Plenty of modules just assume they can call "perl" instead of $^X so you'll get whatever is first in the PATH instead. Ditto calling some of the binaries that get installed as .bat files. I don't think there are registry entry issues -- if you've associated .pl files you may need to change that, but currently Strawberry Perl at least doesn't configure that automatically. David
