> I have just downloaded and installed Perl 5.8.9 for Win32.

That's just a warning ... it may or may not indicate a problem. > Win32::BuildNumber not consistent with perl -v If I check Win32::BuildNumber, I get the following: #################### C:\_32>perl -wle "print Win32::BuildNumber" 825 #################### and, if I run 'perl -v' I get: #################### C:\_32>perl -v This is perl, v5.8.9 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread (with 9 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail) Copyright 1987-2008, Larry Wall Binary build 825 [288577] provided by ActiveState http://www.ActiveState.com Built Dec 14 2008 21:07:41 Perl may be copied only under the terms of either the Artistic License or the GNU General Public License, which may be found in the Perl 5 source kit.

If you have access to the Internet, point your browser at http://www.perl.org/, the Perl Home Page. #################### Note that in both cases the same build number (825) is quoted. The message you're getting suggests that Win32::BuildNumber and perl -v are reporting different numbers. Are they ? If so, then you've got a problem with multiple versions of perl and there's something seriously wrong with your perl installation or environment settings. If not, then I don't know what the message is about :-) Cheers, Rob _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
