RB> Just so you know, I did downloaded and installed ActivePerl 5.6 in the RB> beginning. But a friend told me to stick with 522 so I uninstalled it and RB> installed that 522 version instead. I don't know if some configuration of RB> the 5.6 version was still in the regestry and currupted my 522 version. I have seen in the past where the uninstall *does not* remove the install directory, aand many files are left behind. I ran into problems with incompatable binaries when moving forward from the 522 to the 6xx series. Try uninstalling the 522 again, manually remove the install directory, and reinstall after you have cleaned out the old files.
