See your AUTOEXEC.BAT. The ActiveState Perl install should modify it
appropriately.

I can't imagine you'll find any significant difference from Win95.

I haven't experienced any problems with those modules on Win98. The
closest issue was with HTTP::Cookies which I couldn't get to load from the
Netscape file until I stuck a \r in. (I don't understand why and it didn't
