No problem, not offended :) Thanks for pointing out the "warnings" thing, I wasn't aware of that option.

I thought I had mentioned that I was testing on Windows 2000, which means only the 3rd condition in the if..else loop was relevant for me, which has the correct case for "new" and also had the offending hash assignment commented out. It's probably bad form that I didn't change all the loops equally, but I'm more concerned with getting it to actually work for me :)

The RASOPTIONS thing is definitely confusing for me; I'm trying to understand it conceptually. How it's defined in C is mentioned in the my original post; I'm not sure how that translates to Perl. In my mind the DWORD does not compute - each of those options is represented by a checkbox in the normal Windows configuration GUI, and therefore it seems to me each should be a simple Boolean option.

I'll keep trying when I have some more time...

Thanks again for taking the time to look it over.
