But there is also a file called 'autodia'. The directory and the file cause a name clash in Windoze. > > Why not ask the AutoDia maintainer? He tried to be helpful last time i > asked him.

Probably, but Perl is ~=&$%!@#_*->//\\ ;) > At least try it or explain why you wont use it before looking for > alternatives. I *will* use Perl if there is no other easier way. I just don't want to have to many interpreter languages on my computer that I don't use otherwise *if there is another way*. I have read in the documentation that I need a certain Perl module. This Perl module needs another Perl module to work. The whole installation procedure seemed not too easy for me, and I wasn't sure if the program was even thought for Windows. Therefore I asked these questions. (I have installed WinCVS before, a similar story: In addition I should have TCL, Python, and cvs.exe installed, but I use Python anyway.) Not meant as a complain, OpenSource is wonderful. Johannes _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list
