thanks but if there is another way to do this (a perl configuration script maybe -- that edits the required parts of the registry or whatever thing the activeperl installation program does), I'd like to know it :)

I rarely need perlscript but I need it for the "OLE > Browser" that comes with ActivePerl... i assume you want to use the same perl because you want to preserve the modules you have installed over the same period of time, etc. also you might not be sure where to get said (i assume older) version. first off, all previous ActivePerl releases are available here: ftp://ftp.activestate.com/ActivePerl What I recommend is this: 1. backup your precious perl install to a zip file in case something goes wrong =) 2. delete all subfolders and files in c:\perl except site/lib 3. grab an installer for the exact same version of ActivePerl from the ftp and then install it directly over top. This should preserve any installed / compiled modules that aren't included with that ActivePerl, as well as restoring PerlScript etc. 4. if anything is amiss you can still restore specific files from your back-up =) regards, jeffG > _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users > mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To > unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
