Works or me. Either already fixed or dependent on OS or perl. Regardlss, for any case I added one more local($_) and checked in as revision 714. If you want to checkout current version, run 'make checkout' (svn required). Thanks for the report, -- andreas

I managed to track it down to ExtUtils::MM_Unix in the parse_version function (where $_ isn't localised). I mentioned this when I resolved the bug but for some reason my comments weren't included (I haven't used RT in years, and it shows ;). Thanks for the prompt response! Dan
