Before posting I did try to run the code but I don't have this module installed on any of the systems I have access to. I don't have an ActiveState/Perl5.6 combination anyway.

Perhaps another monk has the same setup as you and can provide a better answer.

Failing that, here's the types of things I would be trying:

• Remove the use statement to check print is working
• Change Crypt::RSA to some other cryptographic module (e.g. Digest::MD5) and see it that prints
• Change Crypt::RSA to some module you have never had a problem with (e.g. Carp) and see if that prints
• Change use to require and see if anything different happens
• Change output to unbuffered and see if that helps
