No, eval wouldn't make any difference If the -r test is causing the popup Win32API::File::SetErrorMode(2); should silence it	[reply]

It's my understanding that wrapping code in an eval will effectively fork and return the result code, setting $@ on an error. It should sidestep the crash nicely allowing for the catch that the OP appears to be digging for. That said, I could be answering the wrong question.	[reply]
