Great! Glad that you got things working!

My client apps are sent out as .exe files with ActiveState tools. Server side is source code. There is a huge skill difference between the sys admin with /root access on Unix and some average Windows user! The .exe file for the Windows users is a very good way to go!

Some folks don't believe that sometimes extra "use" statements are necessary when making these .exe files, but I have found that to be the case. I guess this is a "your mileage may vary situation". I will add that say "use Tk::Button;" is not going to "hurt" if you are actually using a Button...it won't slow the compile down or cause multiple copies of Tk::Button to be loaded or even compiled (Perl keeps track and only "uses" a module once).

anyway congrats on your sucess...sometimes some experimentation and some "fiddling" is required!
