Ugh. I really do want to help. But I'm going to need information you're not providing.

Let's see if I can steer this in a more effective direction. :)

You indicate you used to be on XP, but now you're on Windows 7.
That's nice, but tell's me nothing about the Perl on XP, nor on your Windows 7.
Did you upgrade XP to Windows 7? Did Windows upgrade also upgrade Perl?
No? Then did you upgrade Perl on Windows 7? If so. How did you do it?
Starting to catch my drift now? :)

Did you install Perl on Windows 7? What Perl did you install/upgrade; Strawberry? ActivePerl? What version?

The more information you can provide. The better we can help. There is no such thing as too much information. :)

I'll keep watching, in hopes you'll have some better information to go on. :)
Best wishes.

Hey. I'm not completely useless. I can be used as a bad example.
