I am very new at this as I hope you can understand. The binary files come with a readme file that says I have to have perl working on my computer. I found a free version of perl...
http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/?_x=1, and i wonder if this would be a good version to use.
Maybe i am naive, but if i have perl working on my computer, does that mean I can compile my own binaries as well?
Thanks again for your help, it is certainly getting me off in the right direction...
