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?
