note alien_life_form Greetings,<p> <code> use lib ("Blowfish", "c:\PERL\lib\crypt\blowfish"); </code> Are those really double quotes? because if they are, then all your backslashes are escaping the following chars... I would give single quotes a chance. <br>Cheers,<br> alf <hr> You can't have everything: where would you put it? 170636 170636
