To remedy this, I have now uninstalled 5.10 and gone back to 5.8. The install went fine. Had to go with Option B though - I guess as it's due to the install order of the .ppd files.

I've just downloaded and installed Perl, perl -v showing "This is perl, v5.10.0 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread"
When I then follow your install instructions, Option A fails, showing all sorts of not installed errors. When trying Option B, the installs fail, saying "ppm install failed: The PPD does not provide code to install for this platform".
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

This is completely normal, due to the nature of firing executables from within CRONw. :-)

I don't know, is it bug or or not but it looks suspicious to me.
I installed CRONw 2.0 on Windows 2003 R2 and have following crontab.txt:
*/1 * * * * C:\\windows\\System32\\calc.exe
So, cron fires this job every minute but if I look Process Manager I got:
calc.exe
cmd.exe
perl.exe
so for every job cron fired, it creates cmd.exe and perl.exe and job command. If I close calc.exe, then...

Relocate the Text/Glob.pm to the CRONw root folder and you should be good.

Looking at the log file after having 'net start cron' fail at the command line, I noticed a bad reference to glob.pm. The code looks for the file in text/glob.pm of the locations referenced in @inc, rather than file/glob.pm where the file is actually located. Should be a simple fix.

I recently wrote a short one-off script to monitor some processes on a Win32 system. I was forced to include an external call to a utility whose output I need to parse. From the command line, the program works great. When scheduled via CRONw after making the external call, the program never returns. I narrowed this down to CRONw as I can successfully run the job from the ugly Windows...

That's just crazy talk!!!
Other than manually adding Glob.pm to the perl/lib/text directory, is there another solution? I checked vanilla perl 5.8.8.7 and active perl 5.8.8.819 and neither install this file.
