Hey,
This pointy clicky person has just managed to get the perl version of the
server running on a win2k machine! Quite how I am not sure but it seems to
be working..
Issue is the winamp plug in is still not being recognised, I downloaded
ActivePerl 5.8.0.806.
Some of the commentary mentions missing modules, I guess this is the
case,how do I figure out whats missing and where do I find them.
Thanks
