Hi, Thanks for the reply. A couple of things I didn't explain. I have installed Perl on my C drive. The other version is on a server somewhere and there are devious scripts forcing my installation to point at that. I have no control over that side of it. If I could configure the @INC it may help, but like I said I am a complete novice. One previous message I had was: C:\Perl\net-telnet\Net-Telnet-3.03>perl Makefile.PL Have J:\Util32\lib\Config.pm expected C:\Perl\lib\Config.pm Your perl and your Config.pm seem to have different ideas about the architecture I basically want to get rid off anything pointing towards J:\ That is where the 5.6.1 is installed. I have freshly installed 5.8.4 The other thing is that I cannot use PPM, not that it is going to help me here, as the requests out are blocked by the firewall. Any help would be greatly received. Thanks.
