All tests are OK for me (XP Pro/NT4.0, ActivePerl 6.5.1) after I made one change to one system's config. I had .pl files associated with "perl.exe %1". When tests were run that do something like "par.pl a.par", what gets executed is only "perl.exe par.pl", not "perl.exe par.pl a.par", and there is no STDOUT, just a Usage: error on STDERR. This happens on 6 tests. I would bet that a number of folks have this minimal association in Win32 worlds, just enough to d-click a .pl off the Explorer. Perhaps the test should run "perl par.pl xxx" just in case. It's probably (almost) always true that perl.exe is on the path. Otherwise, great stuff !!! Alan Stewart
