Many thanks. > JWB > > Was able to resolve "not a valid win32" problem with Active State perl installation. Checked per suggestions I received form list and re-ran virus and spyware, plus Symantec Systems Works to diagnose windows bugs, although they all indicated none found. Uninstalled perl for second time, but had to use MoveOnBoot to delete some Active State files that received "access denied message" and couldn't delete through normal steps. After full deletion re-installed Active State Perl and the "not a valid win32 problem went away. Active State's Perl application is up and running again. Thanks for the suggestions on how to fix this problem. JWB
