Re^3: Perl Interpreter

That would be my guess as well, but there are so many forms and versions of Windows that just guessing "Windows" is still too vague.

Also if it was on some form of Unix/Linux, the "shebang" line would work and the problem would just not exist.

Point taken: so perhaps you can first run a batch file to re-mount your keydrive to some other mount point which is expected by your perl scripts. Mmmm, there's an idea for Windows in it: run a batch file which associates the .pl extension with the Perl-interpreter and which pushes the path to the interpreter onto the PATH-environment variable.
