Can you identify the file in which this string occurs? 2. Are you using a packaging of Perl on Windows such as Active Perl or Strawberry Perl? If so, then that phrase might occur in a README from one of those packages. The place to suggest a change in wording would then be at the packager's bug tracker. 3. Please include the output of 'perl -V' in your bug report. It helps us track down bugs faster. Thank you very much.
