I tried to make an EXE for you, but my version of Perl is a little messed up on this machine (I don't have many Win32 machines, so...). I did get the script to compile into an EXE, though. You need to add the path to the libs directory ('set PATH=%PATH%;C:\PERL\SITE\LIB' in my case). Then you need to do something scary: you need to comment out the 'strict' pragma from HTTP:Status.pm (at line 6) and LWP::Simple.pm (at line 147). For some reason, it wouldn't compile otherwise. Oh yeah, those line numbers might be a little different for you, but you get the idea.

That's about all there is to it. If I had a cleaner environment, I'd have an EXE for you, but this box is a little whacked. Good luck to ya...
