Hi Warren, 
          I've never used webmake on Windows, but it looks like
it is translating your home directory to //

I would guess that that may be a feature of the windows install
of perl. I guess you have to set an environment variable when installing
active state to tell it how to find each users' home directory.

Try checking the Active State documentation to see if you need to
set any environment variables for Perl,

regards

Alan
