      Hmmmm, okay not sure what you meant there, but I have managed to relieve my situation by using 'cpanm' and it works just fine. Thanks for your help though..

        Why not? The linked link confusing? Your windows file system case sensitive somehow? File::stat is a core module, and it can't coexist with File::Stat on case insensitive filesystem .... by installing File::Stat everything that depends on File::stat stops working
