Killspree your idea was pretty good, and since well, I'm not really a coder, I never thought to do that
However I did get it set up the way I wanted, so I'm happy.
As far as compiling with perl under VS.NET 2003, I now have it down to a T, unfortunately none of the tutorials posted that I could find, or shown to me in this thread, helped at all. I ended getting live help from Branks (thanks man) in compiling it, and there were a few steps left out for VS.NET 2k3 as compared to C++6, because of the differences in layout of the two programs.
If anyone else has issues compiling with perl under VS.NET 2003 (I can't be the only one lol) feel free to PM me and I'll explain what you have to do. Thanks to all who replied your efforts are very much appreciated, thank you!
