Thank you Cavedude
i didnt even think to search the forum there for the error since it was the second major stop i came accrost
after seeing that and correcting my compatiblity issues i am now running all the proper current files
on a side note this tutorial which i assume is the easyest to find
http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...ka=ws992mysql5
should be updated it tells how to get the current peq_db via cvs how ever it does not state to use the proper perl version nor does it give links to the proper binaries
how ever, now if i have issues i will search both forums first
thanks again
