Ahh.. right Ok.. it's a redhat linux 7.2 install I have, with gnome.. (this is at home) and I have a (hateful) win 98 pc here at work.
Apologies for sounding so dim, but, will either of these machines have perl installed ? If I don't have perl, can I download it from the web? - if so, where from ? Many thanks..
