      Where do you get the error? What is the exact text of the error? What is the exact code you are running?

      Please read How (Not) To Ask A Question.

      I will also need the exact version of Perl (perl -v tells you this). The Win32 modules do not work under any other operating system than Windows.

        for only these two lines:
        use Win32::Process::Info;
        #!/usr/bin/perl -w
        use strict;
        my $pi = Win32::Process::Info->new (undef, 'WMI');

        I get:
        Odd number of elements in anonymous hash at C:/Perl/lib/Win32/Process/Info.pm line 202.
        Can't locate object method "_Typelibs" via package "Win32::OLE::Const" at C:/Perl/lib/Win32/OLE/Cons t.pm line 20.

        Compilation failed in require at C:/Perl/lib/Win32/Process/Info.pm line 199. at C:\try7.pl line 6

        What culd be the cause?
