True, but as I said, its because we run a distro that is moved to multiple machines and operating systems. We use a default 5.8 install of Perl, with all additional modules and specially made features added to our local distro. This has never come up as an issue in the past, which was why this error has been perplexing. Even if I could install this on the Windows machine I am testing on, that does not help me with the other 30+ machines of Linux, Solaris, AIX and HPUX variants that this needs to run on.
