I am sorry , actually I am very new to all this and have used it for the first time . I am using perl 5.16.3 , from padre . hope it clarifies whether it is ActivePerl from ActiveState.

    Padre runs everywhere :) Run this and report the output,
    #!/usr/bin/perl -- print "$] $^X\n"; print "INC: $_\n" for @INC; print "\n"; print "system $^X, '-V';\n"; system $^X, '-V'; print "\n\n\nsystem qw/ perl -V /;\n"; system qw/ perl -V /;
      Padre runs everywhere :)
      I know, but it's installed as standard with "DWIM Perl", hence my guess :)

    No problem :)
    padre is actually an IDE, not a source of Perl.
    You might be running "DWIM Perl" (Perl - Download - Windows)
    Can you type "perl -v" (without the ""s) in a dos box and post the results here?
