I have installed only one perl. I havent edited File/Spec/Unix.pm. Anyway there was no problem with perl like about 5 minutes before this. I only added some new codes in that 5 minutes and at my next compilation it gave this error. I did nothing else than coding my program in between. My perl version is 5.8.8	[reply]

Wait I looked at my program listing it says perl 5.8.8 build 820 (~49mb) and perl 5.8.8 build 822 (~50mb) Is that the problem?	[reply]

at the command prompt, `C:\perl -v` a lc `-v` gives a shortform of your perl version (uc "V" gives far more detail). Your report of two different builds suggests that you do indeed have more than one (build of) perl... which, in turn, suggests that your path, associations or somesuch dose'y thing changed during your five minutes (or, I suppose that you have one which is badly b0rked). You may wish check `path`... and perhaps windows' `search` as an offhand way to check the possibilities of multiple builds in distinct directories.	[reply]

Ok, I uninstalled my (both) old version and installed the newer version .822 build. To my suprise, it wasn't so horrid, it didnt even require the reinstalling of other modules (clever computers I suppose). And the problem is resolved, thanks. So if anyone asks again you may advise him/her to reinstall his/her activeperl d:	[reply]
