Hi Herkum,

Great to hear this.

Tomorrow morning first thing at the office (working at home now) I'll try out your suggestion un-&re-installing ActiveState.

Concerning the upgrade I'm a bit blocked since I have to make IT happen with Perl 5.8.6. Taking into account Ikegami's comment about 5.8.0, 5.8.6 ought to support it.

FYI. On Perl 5.10 it installs and works fine.

I'll keep you posted further on.

Many thanks.
