Many thanks for your reply. It appears that the "repair" option on the 826 build did not (for reasons unknown) re-instate all (any) of the support libraries under the "lib" folder. I have now removed build 826 and re-installed from scratch - it all now works!

The message you're getting suggests that Win32::BuildNumber and perl -v are reporting different numbers. Are they ? If so, then you've got a problem with multiple versions of perl and there's something seriously wrong with your perl installation or environment settings. If not, then I don't know what the message is about :-) Cheers, Rob Want to find out when you can get an iPhone with Orange?
