This is a bug report for perl from rretter@san.rr.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.34 running under perl v5.8.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

Running the perlcc "compiler" under Win200Pro with this command line:

    perlcc scriptfile.pl

on the following one-line Perl script intended to create a list of all
the dirs in the user's PATH:

    @path_dirs = split /;/, $ENV{"PATH"};

a Windows dialog box appears with "perl.exe - Application Error" in
the title bar, and:

    The instruction at "0x10003f14" referenced memory at "0x00000021".
    The memory could not be "read".

while the following appears in the Command Prompt window:

    c:\perl\bin/perlcc.bat: showmacros.pl did not compile, which can't happen:
    Starting compile
     Walking tree
