Ugh. I really do want to help. But I'm going to need information you're not providing.

Let's see if I can steer this in a more effective direction. :)

You indicate you used to be on XP, but now you're on Windows 7.
That's nice, but tell's me nothing about the Perl on XP, nor on your Windows 7.
Did you upgrade XP to Windows 7? Did Windows upgrade also upgrade Perl?
No? Then did you upgrade Perl on Windows 7? If so. How did you do it?
Starting to catch my drift now? :)

Did you install Perl on Windows 7? What Perl did you install/upgrade; Strawberry? ActivePerl? What version?

The more information you can provide. The better we can help. There is no such thing as too much information. :)

I'll keep watching, in hopes you'll have some better information to go on. :)
Best wishes.

Hey. I'm not completely useless. I can be used as a bad example.

    Yes I was on Windows XP using Active State Perl. I recently activated a computer using Windows 7 installing the recent version of Active State Perl. I installed all the packages/modules needed to run my script on Windows 7 as I did on Windows XP. I transferred my script from XP to 7 and when executed resulted in the errors earlier posted. I hope that helps explain things a little more. The scripts are totally identical. Thanks for helping

      OK. Great to know.

      I see in the error:
      ?Error: Can't open log at C:\PerlScript\.pl line 101 <#1> <F> You tried to run a perl built with MAD"
      a reference to MAD. I'm afraid I'm not familiar with that. I see no evidence on CPAN. Is it possible you used different options when you built/installed Perl on XP. That you didn't on Windows 7?

      Given everything you provided. That is the only thing I can come up with.

      HTH
