Is Swish-e installed to C:\Program Files\Swish-e?  If so then uninstall
Swish-e (Add/Remove Programs) and then reinstall it to a location such
as C:\Swish-e (no spaces in the name).  I suppose I should default to C:
\swish-e for the install directory.  It's normally not a problem but
Perl sometimes dislikes it.  I thought that was worked-around but
obviously not.

I think it's more like Windows isn't for newbies.  :-)

Microsoft's use of spaces in "Program Files" and other important system
directories was a rather ill-conceived attempt to show off.  Even in
Windows, a space is treated as a filename delimiter and requires quite a
bit of special handling to make work as part of the filename itself.
(Someone more sensible appears to have renamed those problematic
directories in Windows Vista.)
