Anonymous Monk thanks for the response. I want to use the latest instance of perl i.e perl v5.16.2 that came with Active Perl and not the one with Oracle. I have executed the code and i recieved the following results:

C:\>perl -e " die $^X"
C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe at -e line 1.

Thanks for the codes, i will go through them and try to execute them.
