in thread Useless use of a constant (ict) in void context

At the risk of sounding offensive (not intended). If you typed your code the way you typed your question:

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.

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.

        That is a possibility but when I view it with hexl-mode in emacs with the original line commented out and my retyped first line I don't see the difference:
