It turns out Perl 5.14.2 was the culprit.

When I went to compile the latest Rev (2093) I got a link error looking for "Perl514.lib".

After seeing the changelog for 2092:
" Modified to include VS2008 for perl 5.14 "

I uninstalled Perl 5.10 and installed Perl 5.14.2 and then it compiled with no problems.

However when I ran the server I got the ZONE.EXE problem I stated in the original post.


Here's how I fixed it:
===============

- Uninstalled Perl 5.14.2 and reinstalled Perl 5.10
- In the directory C:\Perl\lib\CORE
I had to make a backup copy of the file "Perl510.lib" and rename the backup to "Perl514.lib". So now the directory has both files: "Perl510.lib" and "Perl514.lib" (they are actually both the same file "Perl510.lib" with one renamed to "Perl514.lib"). If this is not done you will get the link error looking for "Perl514.lib" when compiling.

With the steps above it will compile fine and the server now works properly.
