ignatz,

I feel your pain. I really do.

Well, after a hard drive failure last month, I've just recently (i.e. this week) (re)installed ActiveState's Perl, build 631.

I remember reading about PPM3 while downloading and it was quite clear in my mind you had to pay to get the extra benefits; but if you didn't pay, it would still do the job.

Also, when I fire up a MS-DOS window and run "ppm" from the command line, it runs version 2.1.5. In order to run PPM3, I've got to execute "ppm3" from the command line.

Normally I'd never state my opinion about your feelings, but you wondered if you were off base about this. Personally I don't think it's that big of a deal. But you obviously feel differently about this than I do, especially since you've already had a night to sleep on it and you still feel so strongly.

Cheers!

Brent
