Yes I did acquire a copy from the idnopheq repository but in the meantime I upgraded to Perl 5.8. This caused my program to crash (ie Mr Watson dropped in on me) even before it started. I thought at first that Win32::GUI was the cause to all my trouble, but reinstalling it didn't solve anything - I then reinstalled Win32::OLE and any other suspicious-looking package until I wanted to reinstall AdvNotify
A first problem arose when I realized that the commands given to install the new repository were correct in Perl 5.6's ppm but not in the latest one, and then after I'd installed the repository, it still didn't find the file...
I finally managed to download a copy, change a couple things and install it using my local drive as a repository.

Then finally it worked !!! Or almost... Now I'm trying to solve another problem - it seems like in Perl 5.8 there's a maximum length for GUI widgets - but that's another problem, probably a new node anytime soon.

See you round BrowserUK,
