I get the same with v0.31 and 0.32, different line numbers but the same piece of code by the looks of it. Any ideas? I'm building on WinXP SP2, Perl version v5.6.1.

Hi Dan, I believe this is actually a bug in File::Spec. Can you try upgrading it to the latest version (it's part of the PathTools package) and see if that helps? If so, we need to figure out how to declare this as a dependency properly - I think it's only necessary to upgrade if the user's on Windows. -Ken

Ken, Thanks for the response. I've just downloaded the pathtools package, version 3.29 and tried to run perl Makefile.PL on the download and I'm getting windows error message (see attachment). :-( Best Regards, Dan Smart Wintel System Admin EPT Integration & Deployment Team Eurofighter Avionics IPT BAE SYSTEMS Warton Phone: 01772 8 58617 ======================================================================== ======================= BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Registered Office: Warwick House, PO Box 87, Farnborough Aerospace Centre, Farnborough, Hants, GU14 6YU, UK Registered in England & Wales No: 1996687 ======================================================================== ======================= The content of this email is covered under DEAL 1631 and 1632.

Works for me on Win32 with updated File::Spec. I'll add it as a prereq for Win32 and am closing this ticket. Failures in PathTools should be addressed in the bug queue for that distro.
