Either symlink or mount /qub to point to /usr/local/perl (I've done both - on two different machines :) - and either option works fine) 3. Symlink the executables from /usr/local/perl to /usr/local/bin (you could just add /usr/local/perl to your PATH if you wish) And yes, I /will/ be documenting this on my GNU-Win32 web pages soon...
