Hi Steve, If creating a simple setup.exe installer file, I also use InnoSetup and IsTool. However most of my software needs to be installed on an enterprise level using SMS or similar, so I also use ActiveStates PerlMSI, which granted is very poorly documented and is not the easiest to setup, but after asking some specific questions of Jan DuBois at ActiveState I managed to get a script working, and must say that it is simple to adjust and use ONCE you know how to use it is quick, professional and easy to use.
If you need to create an MSI and want an example of the installation script, let me know.

Looks like everyone is saying Win32::GUI::Timer or Time::Hires, so i`ll go down that route for now. Many thanks :) Next quick question (then i`ll leave you all alone until after the weekend, I promise!)... software bundle installers... any preferences? I have been looking at the free version of AdvanceInstaller (www.advancedinstaller.com) which looks like it can do the very simple thing I need, but like Perl in general, "there is more than one way to do it" (tm)... so any other installer packages I should look at before I choose?
