I'm using vista sp1, and the lastest means the newest I can find on
ftp://ftp.riken.go.jp/. And the output of tlmgr --version is

C:\Users\fnsteed>tlmgr --version
tlmgr revision 11693 (2008-12-23 01:22:06 +0100)
tlmgr using installation: d:/texlive/2008
TeX Live (http://tug.org/texlive) version 2008
texlive-20080903

> $ tlmgr  show bin-tlperl.win32


My output is:

tlmgr: installation location 
ftp://ftp.riken.go.jp/pub/tex-archive/systems/texli
ve/tlnet/2008/
Package:    bin-tlperl.win32
Category:   TLCore
Installed:  Yes
Revision:   11607

Seems alright.

I'm a Emacs user, but I don't know how to use a M-x shell. Some more hint?

Thanks
