If I delete the use 5.006; so it is now as below, it now gives:

package Test::NoWarnings;


use strict;
use warnings;
use Carp                      ();

Useless use of a constant (rnings) in void context at I:/strawberry-perl-5.14.2. 1-32bit-portable/perl/vendor/lib/Test/NoWarnings.pm line 3.

strawberry-perl-5.14.2.1-3 2bit-portable/perl/vendor
(note the 2bit-portable).

I'm inclined to go with Rolf (LanX), and suggest it was probably a typo.

Again. No offense intended.

#!/usr/bin/perl -Tw
use Perl::Always or die;
my $perl_version = (5.12.5);
print $perl_version;

That was cut and pasted from a windows terminal and it seems it cut the newline and replaced it with a space - I don't usually use Windows. Anyway, the code in question was not typed in by me.

If I comment out the "Package Test::Nowarnings;" line and retype it the problem goes away but I cannot see any difference between the original and what I typed. I'd run it through od if this wasn't Windows.

Speaking of "cut and paste", Is it remotely possible you have an embedded character in your code somewhere. High ASCII, a   ( ), bell, or some other such thing. That your editor doesn't show?

Just a thought.
