Didn't mean to hurt your -- or anyone's -- feelings marto. I have been trying different combinations and its been hard to keep track of things. Accept my apologies -- I value your advice as much as everyone else's. Cheers.	[reply]

Don't worry about it, regardless of which version of perl you're currently using (ActiveState vs Strawberry) I still suggest using cpan to install pp. If using ActiveState you'll need to install build tools (MinGW, dmake) which can be done via: `ppm install MinGW` Once this is done (note Strawberry ships with everything you need) you'll be able to install pp via: `cpan pp`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

With your help, I have got 'pp' to work. Here is a brief summary of steps (for those who will follow in my path): `(1) installed ActiveState Perl 5.12.3 (2) ppm install MinGW (3) cpan pp` [download] Thanks to you all, especially marto. Cheers!	[reply] [d/l]
