Or: 1. use cygwin ( if you can get mod_perl2 to build. I couldn't.) 2. Pay up for VMWare Workstation. With VMWare you can have virtual linux sessions running in Windows. There's a free player and some free Linux virtual machines but if you want to create your own virtual system you will need Workstation (about 200 euro). With recent versions of the linux kernel you can create virtual OS's that share folders with Windows (or the other way round if you have Linux as your native OS). Even without shared folder support you can access the virtual system from the host system via SSH etc. I've got mod_perl2 to fly on debian (woody) and RHEL3 virtual machines. With a reasonable spec box you will hardly notice you are running a hosted OS. VMWare is highly recommended. Check out these web sites: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VMware http://www.vmware.com Rolf
