Ok.. I just found out a work around here, but I would like to inform you of another new discovery I have just made. OPENDIR is not thread safe... I have a sub :
#sub get_files {
#    
#    my ($work_dir, $ext) = @_;
#    opendir (FILES, "$work_dir");
#    my @to_go = grep {/\.$ext$/} readdir(FILES);
#    close(FILES);
#    return (@to_go);
#    
#}

and I cant use it any more in my threaded program in windows, or else I get a Windows error!!!, this sub is not used by threads, but any way, its fatal... there goes another great perl bug to submit!

Best wishes,
Paulo C.

P.S.I already did a workaround in the sub using @files = <*>;
