Ya, my path starts with:

PATH=C:\Perl\site\bin;C:\Perl\bin;

You think the order matters? I've seen some cases where it does matter when I worked on the helpdesk, I want to say with Chameleon installs... Maybe it should look in c:\perl\bin first, then site\bin? Can someone that has a working server in its own directory share the order of their perl-related path variable?

Mine only has C:\Perl\bin as far as perl goes and it is first.

Order only matters if you have 2 executables in your path with the same name. It will pick the one that turns up in your path first.

I wonder if this is a difference in the environment that the server is running in and the environment that the client is running in? Maybe not, but it is something to check.

Well, the server is W2k3 server, client is Vista. I tried switching the paths and rebooting, that didn't do it. I dunno, it's werid. I haven't tried messing more with it though, I have a stable EQ .

if you have 5.8.8.822 perl try downgrading, the 822 build seems to be a bit crappy when it comes to eqemu. 5.8.5 and 5.8.7 have been reported as working by cavedude.

Just for the hell of it, uninstall Perl 5.8.8 and install 5.8.7 instead. 5.10 without a doubt breaks EQEmu, and I've seen evidence that supports 5.8.8 may do so as well.
