Hi,

I'm very new to Perl as you will soon see. I've downloaded and installed v5.8.4 but have fallen at the first fence. There is an old version of Perl installed somewhere on an obscure app drive. I am trying to install my modules, spefically net::telnet and net::telnet::cisco but get this message when running nmake (I'm on a WIN32 system BTW):

Perl lib version (v5.8.4) doesn't match executable version (v5.6.1) at C:\Perl\lib/Config.pm line 32.

To my surprise, although I have installed v5.8.4 my machine is under the impression it's running v5.6.1: 

C:\Perl\net-telnet\Net-Telnet-3.03>perl -v

This is perl, v5.6.1 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail)

Could anyone put me politely out of my misery?

Many Thanks

Mohawk1.
