The following program creates an error i have never seen before on Win32: D:\>perl -"use Fnorble" This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information. Notice the error, i forgot the 'e'. This is an AS perl 5.8.6, Im not bothering to perlbug it as its doesnt seem to be a perlbug (And perlbug is a PITA on win32), but OTOH, it seems odd such a weird error message is created. Its obviously coming from the C runtime and not from perl, but why? Cheers, yves -- perl -Mre=debug -e "/just|another|perl|hacker/"Thread Next
