How did you install it ? There's a PPM for it at the bribes repository that could be worth a try (assuming it's not what you've already got). Just: ppm remove Win32-Lanman and then: ppm install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Win32-Lanman.ppd There's also a PPM (at the same repository) for Win32API::Net which, according to its description is a "Perl interface to the Windows NT LanManager API account management functions". It could be worth trying as an alternative to Win32::Lanman if all else fails: ppm install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Win32API-Net.ppd Cheers, Rob _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
