You've got some good answers above, but the thing I keep choking on is this line: #!/usr/local/bin/perl4 -- -*- C -*-Can you even obtain Perl4 for Win2K?? I can't find it on Active State's or Indigo Star's web site. Are you planning on compiling it yourself? It may be less work and more benefit in the long run to port to Perl5 and use one of the binary distributions.

Unless that's just a typo when you did copy-and-paste....
