in thread Module Problem out of the Blue

Wait I looked at my program listing it says perl 5.8.8 build 820 (~49mb) and perl 5.8.8 build 822 (~50mb) Is that the problem?

    at the command prompt,
    C:\perl -v
      a lc -v gives a shortform of your perl version (uc "V" gives far more detail).

    Your report of two different builds suggests that you do indeed have more than one (build of) perl... which, in turn, suggests that your path, associations or somesuch dose'y thing changed during your five minutes (or, I suppose that you have one which is badly b0rked).

    You may wish check path... and perhaps windows' search as an offhand way to check the possibilities of multiple builds in distinct directories.

      Ok, I uninstalled my (both) old version and installed the newer version .822 build. To my suprise, it wasn't so horrid, it didnt even require the reinstalling of other modules (clever computers I suppose). And the problem is resolved, thanks. So if anyone asks again you may advise him/her to reinstall his/her activeperl d:
