in reply to installing strawberry and activeperl

How are you running these scripts ?
If you run them simply as script.pl, then the perl that gets invoked would be the perl that's associated with the '.pl' extension - which may be different to the perl that comes first in your path.

If, otoh, you're running them as perl script.pl then the perl that gets invoked will be the first perl in your path ... and the question then changes to "how did you go about altering the path ?".

Cheers,
Rob
