Why only on BSD and only on P5.12?

Windows...yeah...not interesting fail...missing utils, so some win-specific hack there.

but the fail on 512/Bsd and not linux and not 514 or 516 -- previous report had many more fails on other clients... that only this one is causing probs -- what is diff about this combo? That's what's stumped me...

Have no easy way to test this on a BSD5.12 system though and am not sure if a change like above wouldn't cause probs on other systems.

. As for $fh... P takes 'globs'. or IO handles. Does that answer your Q?

later

If I added IO::Handle/IO::File... and if that worked, it would seem to indicated that IO::Handle doesn't have an @ISA relation with IO::Handle. How likely is that on 1 platform?
