But a perl variable wouldn't be that useful: you would have to add code in advance to your script to show it. And if the problem is so severe that the executable won't run at all, you can't get this information out of it. What about a static string in the executable that you could grep for, e.g. "packed by PAR::Packer VERSION". Cheers, Roderich
