Well it works on my machine, of course, but because of the problem report with 'say' working as a 'pre-method', but generating the exact same type of error when used as a target method, I was leaning toward trying that.

The reason being, is that let's say you have the 5.12 source -- it shouldn't be different for different platforms. So the @ISA chain should be the same and if I call print on a IO::File -- it derives from IO::Handle -- so unless object calling is completely broken on 5.12 -- which it wasn't, AFAIR. But something was bizarre with having pre-methods (verb object), work when object->verb did not in that time frame. So it would make more sense to hope the same thing that affected 'say', is affecting 'print' ??? Does that sound logical/reasonable?

I.e. if the problem mentioned with 'say' said putting those two use statements in was the solution they tried, I'd likely try it first.

I have no way to test it other than wait for more test reports to come in, unless someone knows of a way to run it more quickly...but haven't uploaded new source yet... was still dwelling on how I wanted to solve the windows case...that and working on other things while my brain 'stews'...;-)...

Later...

Uploaded V1.0.12 with the BSD and the Win fix. Of course now, every other platform will break... but hey! ;-)....ok ... maybe not linux and maybe not windows...(testing on windows in strawberry is less than fun -- no bash! I do most of my windows cmdline stuff in cygwin)...
