[Dxspider-support] New Installation - Help Needed

I'm trying to upgrade a friends Spider, and he brought the computer 
over today.  It's a P3 with Win98, and I was asked to not fool with 
the OS.

I downloaded ActivePerl 5.6.1.638-MSWin32-x86.msi, and installed it.  
I tried to load all the additional modules using PPM, but was not 
able to install timedate, for some reason.

I copied the pertinent files to spider\local and then:

cd \spider\perl
perl create_sysop.pl

OK, but when I start the cluster, I get:

1194824070^DXSpider V1.54, build 0.177 started
1194824070^Copyright (c) 1998-2007 Dirk Koopman G1TLH

1194824071^can't open user file: /spider/data/users (No such file or 
directory) [rebuild it from user_asc?] at cluster.pl line 382

Doing

cd\spider\data
perl user_asc

gives me a prompt back, but I get the same error message.

Any ideas?
