[PDK-Beta] ANNOUNCE: Perl Dev Kit 7.0 Beta 2 available | [PDK-Beta] Graphical debugger
Still having a problem with the license when trying to use debugger..

Clean machine, fully patched XPPro, 
Binary build 819 [267479] provided by ActiveState http://www.ActiveState.com
Built Aug 29 2006 12:42:41

Perpetual 6.0.2 PDK license

Attempting to install eval license - popup 'will not override perpetual license' 
followed by 'license install failed'.

Have followed 1) and 2) below and the solutions are effective.

Advice?

 - Lynn.
