What version of Perl are you running on your Win32 machine? From a quick glance, the code uses some features ("EXPR foreach" and qr) that were added in, I think, Perl 5.005. If you're using an older version, you'll get syntax errors.	[reply]

I use qx to execute a "echo some text" command since perl for win does not have fork this might be a problem, your machine has no echo command. and you should not change the first line :-)	[reply]
