God, it's been three months and I'm messing with this stuff again...

Everything seems to be working right except when installing IO::Scalar it gives me an error. This is an exact printout of my actions:

C:\Games\Perl\bin>perl -MIO::Scalar -e "print "Installed"

C:\Games\Perl\bin>

Then I get this error when loading load5zones.bat:

[Status] Loading embedded perl
[Status] Error initializing perlembed: failed to install plugin printhook, do yo
u lack IO::Scalar?
[Status] Fatal error initializing perl: failed to install plugin printhook, do y
ou lack IO::Scalar?

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? I've made sure I don't have any other versions of perl on my machine (I had an older one and deleted it). I reinstalled IO::Scalar a few times to make sure that was not the problem (deleted the .cpan folder and started from scratch.

Could it be a problem with where I have the perl folder located? the .cpan folder is in C://.cpan and the perl folder is in C://games/perl.

Thanks for any help ahead of time...
