Thank you for your help and advice! I have written a perl app that I use on several servers I support. These are all NT 4 or win 2000 servers. It simply compares current usernames on the server to an authorized list. All of the servers I support have ActiveState Perl 5.005 installed.  Some of my team members also want to use my app, but some of their servers cannot have Active Perl installed (customer requirement). As I was browsing through some of our tools, I found a version of perl.exe that appears to be a stand alone rather than installed version... 
perl.exe -v shows...

This is perl, version 4.0

perl for NT $$Revisison: 4.0.1.8
Build 3
Patch level: 36

Using this perl.exe and my app on a server that does not have Active Perl installed looks like it would work, but some of the syntax is not happy.  I suspect this is an older version. r Is there something like this ( a stand-alone perl.exe poduct) still available that is more up to date? Something that I don't have to install (violating customer requirements) but would still allow me to run 
perl my.pl

Thank you!!  Glenn Meyer
