Hi, Your report.pl is not ugly, it's pretty pretty! Works fine for me after adjusting the locations, even if perl -W (v5.8.8) is saying: "Using a hash as a reference is deprecated". BTW. If I copy the statusfiles to a share using a wpkg-package like http://wpkg.org/Viewing_software_installed_on_workstations , I always get the status *before* the last execution of wpkg.js. Perhaps the better way ist to define an additional action to execute after wpkg.js.
