That would be "get Charles running". Please go back and read the thread carefully. In particular read the "perlfork" man page. A "couple of tips" is not going to do it. There are some very big differences between Windows and Unix as operating systems. The missing "fork" call on Windows is just the first one that a Unix programmer will notice. I suggested trying qpsmtpd-apache because that would mean running qpsmtpd on top of perl on top of apache. Both perl and apache have been ported to windows by people who have looked carefully at the differences. Apache has a special library to take care of these (but perl does not use it). Unless someone has already got qpsmtpd working on windows, it is not a job for a beginner. -- --gh
