in reply to XML::Parser Weirdness

Hi Anonymous Monk.

I tested it on a win98 machine at work w/ perl 5.8.0 installed and I didn't experience any problems.

Output:
C:\Perl\bin\hw>perl test21.pl article tester C:\Perl\bin\hw>

Since I'm not a regular win32 user, the only thing I can think of at the moment is you might need to install a service pack.

Did you build your perl from source or are you using an ActiveState build?

    Heya DK

    This is activestate 5.6.1 with 2.27 of XML::Parser. The win machine is fully patched, but I was unable to replicate on either 5.8.0 machines or other 5.6.1 machines so it appears to be machine-specific. Hmm... maybe I need to *remove* a service pack or security path! :)

    Thanks for the help
