Hmm, something to do with mixing gcc versions. perl was compiled with `gcc version 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3)` and the modules with `gcc version 4.5.2 (GCC)`, that will teach me :) I'm off to compile 5.14.1 yawn	[reply]

well, didn't work out, but at least now I've ruled out Win32::API/Win32::Console , though it probably is -static-libgcc AND -static-libstdc++ related $ perl -MLWP::UserAgent -e " LWP::UserAgent->new->env_proxy " The locale codeset (cp437) isn't one that perl can decode, stopped at +C:/perl/site/5.14.1/lib/Encode/Locale.pm line 87.
