Thanks, BrowserUK.

strict.pm appears to be there, but I still get the same error message

    Sorry for the 20 questions, but that's remote debugging. What happens if you change the first line to just:#! perl?

      A glutton for Newbie punishment, you are, BrowserUK

      But I appreciate it nonetheless

      This for two ways:(Wasn't sure about the space

      #! perl

      [download]
      #!perl

      [download]

      so, same-o, same-o:

      C:\Perl64\bin>en
Can't locate strict.pm in @INC (@INC contains: .) at C:\Perl64\bin\ent

      Thanks again for your help. It can be 100 questions

        The space doesn't matter, the shebang line doesn't do much on Win anyway. But, I was trying to preclude the possibility that you had Cywin installed (which does use the shebang lines) and that was interfering.

        You never answered my question about how you installed your perl. Did you use the .ZIP of the .MSI?

        What do you get from perl -le" print for @INC" (Probably just ., but worth a shot.)
