Sure. They're called Windows 2000 and Linux.... I wouldn't touch Win98 with a bargepole. Especially for developing on. As soon as you get a perl script that goes rouge and starts eating memory it will be much harder to kill off in Win98 than a proper OS.
You could always install the 5.22 version from activestate. It's hidden away in the older versions of perl section IIRC. -----Original Message----- From: Johnson, Shaunn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 18 March 2002 16:03 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Perl for Windows 98 --have explorer 5 ... but i have no idea what DCOM is ... i'll have to look into whatever that is ... --aren't there any alternatives? -X -----Original Message----- From: yahoo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Hi, a quick look on the ActiveState site seems to indicate that DCOM for win98 and atleast IE 5 are required.
