Does it work with simple "Hello world" programs? Have you tried running it in debug (verbose) mode? C:> perlcc -verbosed test.pl This is just a wild guess, but make sure that the file it is trying to create (test.pl.c in the above example) is not set to read only. Not being able to create the output file would cause the error you describe....	[reply]

Also check the version of ActivePerl you are using. I used to sign the PerlApp ActivePerl list and there were quite a few unhappy customers in the begining. And of course, check their site. #!/home/bbq/bin/perl # Trust no1!	[reply]

From my limited understanding of the ways of perl, I believe windows 95 is only of limited enlightenment in these ways. From what I can figure perl is only 90% compatible with windows 95. There is a utility floating about that can check on your system's level of compatibility. I found it in the Teach Yourself Perl in 21 Days book. This book is very good and almost all of the programs work. It even includes a batch file that will turn your perl programs so that they can be launched from the command line without invoking perl with each execution.	[reply]

Me again. I've tried all of these things. I just won't work. I've tried helloworld apps, and searched everywhere on the web. I would switch to Linux, but seeing this isn't my computer I dont have much of a choice. ;) If anyone has any further suggestions please email me at fokke_wulf@hotmail.com Thanks.	[reply]

Do you have a C compiler installed? Try: `perlcc -gen <programname>` If that works, it can't find your C compiler.	[reply] [d/l]
