you are using ActiveState Perl instead of Strawberry?<br>
<br>
In addition to this list I aways recommend that questions
be asked on <a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="http://www.perlmonks.org" target="_blank">www.perlmonks.org</a>
as well. The site looks like it's straight out of the
nineties, but it is actually tremendously useful. They
have a few resident Perl-On-Windows gurus too.<br>

<p dir="ltr"><span face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"

because you are telling what you have (win8) to
treat the program as if it was running on XP. Or to
actually be backward compatible for this one
program. Because win8 doesn't look back. Like a
shark it has no neck.<br>
(Futurama joke)</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"

right clicking on the Perl.exe executable, select
properties, compatibility tab, XP Service Pack 3
mode. Hmmmmmm.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span face="Helvetica, Arial,

If it doesn't then something is different
since wed night. May need to apply the XP
Compatibility mode setting to the Perl.exe
file under c:\strawberry since win8 makes
life hard just because it seems.</span></p>

command line open, I type "perl <a

(the name of the file) and hit enter.
It gives me the "0xc000007" error
message, refusing to execute the
program. I looked up answers online and
a lot of them are "reboot the machine"
"try reinstalling" etc. I rebooted and
it didn't fix anything. A
registry-fixer was recommended but I
decided to uninstall it after
installing. It would be nice to have
some help. Thank you. Rick Azevedo</span></div>
