Hello Monks,

I've got a problem that's been driving me crazy. I am trying to build Thread::Tie on a Windows box running ActivePerl 5.8.8 (MSWin32-x86-multi-thread). This box is unable to go online and access cpan so im building from the .tar.gz with nmake. I've built the dependency with no problem, but this one just wont go no matter what I try.

Heres the error I get when doing '>nmake test': 
D:\Perl\Thread-Tie-0.12>nmake test

(then it hangs until i give it a SIGINT(2))

Very much like this Build Status page I found. The only difference is that they are using an older version of perl that shouldn't even have support for threads. On the other hand, this build passes.

Needless to say I am thoroughly confused. Is my perl lying about its version? or is there another problem.

I really appreciate any help you may be able to provide.

Thanks,
- Zen
