in thread Windows 7

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.

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