Hi Mark, I downloaded ActivePerl yesterday and it seems to work, though I haven't tested any scripts with it yet. I thought it might help to check what was downloaded. I downloaded my copy from http://www.activestate.com/Products/Download/Get.plex?id=ActivePerl&a=e After reading the documentation I downloaded InstMsi.exe first and then ActivePerl-5.6.1.631-MSWin32-x86.msi after that.
