Is it possible that when you installed Tie::File v0.93, you did it somewhere other than your .../perl/lib directory? .../perl/site/lib maybe?

I ask, because looking at line 699 of v0.93 show it to be a comment line. The error makes sense in the context of line 699 of v0.95 though.

I also get an error on line 699 when I tried v0.95 in conjunction with perl 5.6.1. Although it was a different error. I got: 

Parentheses missing around "my" list at e:/Perl/lib/Tie/File.pm line 6
+73.
Parentheses missing around "my" list at e:/Perl/lib/Tie/File.pm line 6
+99.

You can check which version is being found like this: 

C:\test>perl -mTie::File -e "print $Tie::File::VERSION"
0.95
