Roger,

By the way, the perl version I use is Active Perl 5.8.1

Can you please tell me where to get version 5.8.1, I can only get ActivePerl 5.8.0 build 806

I think I may have screwed up some of the Perl modules, because I used PPM, the shell version of CPAN, and even d/loading Mail::Box from the website, uncompressing it, and then doing the 'makefile', etc. To me, it's confusing to know what I _should_ use to install any missing modules. Also, I don't have a C compiler installed, that could be complicating things. :(

Anyway, I'm going to un-install everything, then install "ActivePerl 5.8.0 build 806", then try and run the sample script you supplied, and then take it slowly, step by step, fixing up any 'errors' (missing modules,etc).

Thanks for your help,

Peter
