--come on guys! *lol* --let me start from the beginning: sometime ago, i asked for, and got, perl training. it was cool. i got a better understanding of what was going on, methods, practical application, etc ...
--the training was ON RedHat 7.2, perl version 5.6.1. so it's NOT that i WANT to install it on Windows ... it's not for me! seriously! would i let you guys down like THAT? (answer: no) --however, the other folks in the class don't have access to the server so readily. some have to use their laptops to get stuff done. while they're on the road, they can write a few things and move it on the production server with a few modifications. --i have no control over what OS they put on their laptops, but they did ask for Perl for Windows (Windows '98 no less). --so THAT is the *real* reason why i need Perl for Windows. -X -----Original Message----- From: John Edwards [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] 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. [snip]
