It's not a path to perl problem.

Don't downgrade.

That other problem is completely, totally unrelated to this one.

This is purely your host's fault.

Your host did not actually INSTALL Perl on that server. They just "imaged" Perl and other programs onto the server.

Perl needs to integrate itself a little with Windows in order to get everything working. Unless it does this, Perl won't know where to look for libraries and modules on startup.

This is the exact problem you're having. Your host's Perl installation was imaged, improperly installed, or is otherwise abnormal.

In partciular, it can't find the vars_config.cgi file. I had to enter the full path to vars_config in cp and ultimatebb to get them to load. (Once vars_config is loaded, the UBB takes care of the rest of the paths.)

Creeping, you seem to have extremely poor luck... Why in the world did you switch to an NT host in the first place? <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
