Right, that should be OK. As long as you don't need access /to/ the box.

Yep, no problem there. Well, I say that - I find that if I have the DTK
perl installed, --with-perl fails miserably on my laptop, so I normally
only have ActiveState installed.

OK. I'll have to run it past one of my colleagues (who is out until
Monday) as he technically 'owns' our Windows dev server. It will be a
2K3 Server in case you're interested.

I'll let you know either way.
