Please provide more info (e.g. perl -V).

What's ant's file extension (e.g. .exe)? (Not sure if that matters.)

    Hi, yes ant in this case would be ant.exe

    E:\>perl -v

This is perl, v5.10.1 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread

    So not the very latest but not ancient. Latest from ActiveState is 5.26.1.2601. I'll see if I can upgrade and notice a difference

    Edit: I'm getting the same results after upgrading to the latest version, weird that
