Did you copy and paste the code? Because it sounds like you missed a comma. (i.e. you have print SCALAR "\n"; in place of print SCALAR, "\n";). If not, your copy of Params::Validate was not correctly built. I just downloaded v0.95 from CPAN and have no problem, using the pure Perl version. You may wish to try downloading the tarball from http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/D/DR/DROLSKY/Params-Validate-0.95.tar.gz, expanding it and copying Params-Validate-0.95/lib/Params/Validate.pm and Params-Validate-0.95/lib/Params/ValidatePP.pm into C:\Perl\site\lib\Params, deleting ValidateXS.pm and Validate.xs while you are there. Once this is done, try the script again.

      Hi Kennethk ..
      I copied the Locale.pm file at location specified you and after executing the code :
      #!/usr/bin/perl
      use strict;
      use warnings;
      use Params::Validate qw( validate validate_pos SCALAR );
      print SCALAR;

      I am getting outout as '1' ... Is that the expected output ?
      And when I run my program to conver Crystal report to PDF I got error which I send you in my previous reply.
