I am using perl 5.6.1 with NT. From a dos prompt I said "perl -de 0" expecting to start up the debug invironment but got the following message: default die handler restored Unable to connect to remote host: 127.0.0.1:2000 Compilation failed to require Begin failed - compilation aborted I tried uninstalling and reinstalling my perl but that had no effect. I have no idea what the problem might be. Larry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
