Yes, I'm fine with that. I've found that commenting out the (only) call in Perl's win32 code to a function called ansify_path() fixes this strange startup problem on Vista/2008/7 using VS2010. This is apparently possibly a problem (even a bug?) with putenv() in MSVCR100.dll. I'm still investigating, but at least have a workaround now. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@perl.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@perl.apache.org
