I would love to give the "how to install a perl module in different folder and use it from there" a try. I see no download of any files for Makefile.pl or any other on page http://www.Planet-Source-Code.com/vb/scr ipts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=492&lngWId=6 to try this. Can you please send me a copy at support@designerwiz.com ? Thank you. Ray
