in thread Simple stuff breaks in 5.8?

With the following small program I didn't see any hickups at all:
#! /usr/bin/perl -w
use warnings;

while (){
$date=`/bin/date`;
print "date is -->$date<--\n";
sleep (2);
}

    So it seems the error is not in this part of the code.
    Hence the error must be somewhere else in your code.

    As I don't have Perl 5.8, I'm afraid that I will not be of much help further.
