An almost perfect example of why you (me) should use perlbrew I had tried to test under 5.8.1 on windows but sadly the program tested without flaw. (Strange thing to be sad about :) ) But my plan for my new effort is to install perlbrew and then follow it's instructions to install 5.8.1 producing a 'cake and eat it too' situation! Thanks for the reminder!
