i had to deal with the world error. Not sure how your troubleshooting it but this is what i did.
on the 6.2 there are 2 links for files needed for the nonperl. The non pearl gave me the M$ error window using the world exe. out of the fixed zip. So instead i just extracted the fixed zone and copied over the one that came with the zip off of sourceforge fixed the world crashing and M$ error window.
The Perl enabled from jimm0thy i did not have issues with the an M$ error window (nothing from his perl compile needs to be replace should work right out of the zip file) but did have crashing issues. which installing a newer perl 5.8 fixed that.
So if you want non perl download the binaries from sourceforge and the fixed zip (not been around for few weeks so I don't know if a newer compile of a nonperl binaries are floating about) you will need to extract the fixed zone exe and replace the one that extracted from the sourceforge binaries.
If you want a perl version just download jimm0thy perl compile you don't need the fix zip for this one.
another way for perl that i believe was from a newer source is gett cavedudes (i believe it is from him) 6.2 installer which is by far the easiest way out there. now double click the package a few choices and wala installed with a DB (not the DB from PEQ it is cavedudes DB wich is pretty decent)that it will source on its own. If you just want the main server files from cavedudes installer then choose custom install from the installer and it should just install the server files and the quest files. wala plain old 6.2 perl enabled binares source your DB you want set your settings and try that.
