Good morning, I'm on an NT 4.0 locked down workstation, which currently has Perl 5.6 installed for both development and production. Our website is semi-automatically refreshed daily using a suite of programs and modules written in Active State Perl 5.6 Now I need to revise the website program to take account of unicode and to that end I need to install Active State Perl 5.8. At the same time, the production site (Perl 5.6) needs to stay fully operational. When I installed 5.8 it overwrote all the settings of 5.6 (registry and @INC) which meant the production site stopped working. Given that I have only limited access to the registery, all I could do was de-install 5.8 and re-install 5.6. Has anyone any idea how I can put both instances on the same workstation and keep them entirely separate please? I've searched the documentation on the Active State website but couldn't find anything. Thanks in advance, Anne Webel
