I presume that is a dialogue Windows displayed to say the perl.exe program has hit an access violation or something like that. If so and it worked a week ago you need to locate what you changed as I'm not going to attempt to hunt down an access violation on Windows, remotely, via this forum.	[reply]

Apparently someone screw up your Perl installation. Such errors are common when one version of perl tries to load a module compiled for a different version. Any chance someone tried to update a module by copying the .dll manualy from a different installation? Or someone installed a new perl over the old directory? In either case a clean reinstall of Perl is the surest solution. Jenda Enoch was right! Enjoy the last years of Rome.	[reply]
