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?
