Lynn,

Thanks for the info. I tried that but it didn't work.  I gave up and
reinstalled PDK 5.1 but before hitting go I noticed it wanted to install
into my perl install directory "d:\perl" rather than C:\Program
Files\something. I cancelled and reinstalled PDK 6.0 beta into d:\perl
and everything seems to work now.

Cheers,

Alistair
