This is a basic perl-5.8.8 distribution. ActivePerl has the same issue, but it checks two different locations (HKLM\Software\Perl and HKLM\Software\ActivePerl).
After further investigation, I'm not sure this is really the problem I'm seeing, although it is a potential issue. The actual symptom is that the user starts the program (from the command line), and it unpacks perl58.dll launches the internally packed .exe, then fails complaining that it can't "locate File/Temp.pm in @INC (@INC contains: .)" The packed app seems to work for other people without trouble, so I'm not sure what it is about this user's configuration that triggers the problem. --Scott -----Original Message----- From: Steffen Mueller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 08, 2008 12:19 PM To: par@perl.org Subject: Re: interference from the registry on Windows Hi Scott, Scott Stanton wrote: > Has anyone else run into this before?
