Thanks for your reply. I first reran the installation
program and did a "repair" install with no success. Then I
ran Add/Remove Programs and uninstalled ActiveState,
reinstalled it, and the dir version posted above ran
perfectly. It seems that a buggy ActiveState installation
program is to blame.
An important test will come tomorrow since I
don't have "map" on my home computer. I'll un/reinstall
ActiveState at work tomorrow, try my first example
program and post an update regarding `map`
results. Thanks again, also to everyone else that replied.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
