Hello again cellmates. I work from home for part of the week and in an office for the remainder of the time. I've inherited a script that is run from a PC in an attempt to waken (900) PC's on our Network. It works fine from my home PC - well okay it works! - but from the office it just seems to drop through and print the Usage details like a UNIX Here document. Even if I supply the -v option all I get is the usage details. I think it's something to do with the Getopt::Std or the Vars modules as it doesn't seem to be picking up the options? Using ppm I can't find any of these modules when I do a search but I would have thought that the the script would have failed with an appropriate message if they couldn't be located?

Any ideas? ( The -c at the shebang was just to show that there were no compilation errors - none of the required modules (Getopt:Std etc) were missing). The exact same zip file was used in the build of Perl on each PC (Version 5.8.7 Build 813) so they should be identical?!
