I did not tell you to lose the -wT I gave you detailed instructions on how to setup perl on sambar. If you followed those instructions you would be using the activestate build. Once its running delete the perl in sambar.
The hash line should look like this #!D:/perl/bin/perl.exe or #!D:/perl/bin/perlis.dll dending what perl you are using and what drive it is located on. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (cherie) To: "sambar List Member" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 19 Jun 2004 16:25:42 +0200 Subject: [sambar] Perl is finally working (somewhat)! > Thanks for the help, everyone. > Leif Gregory's advice was true that the notepad was a source of > problems; even though I enclosed the filename in quotes and made sure > the extension was l.pl, I was getting an 'internal error'.
