I hadn't tried 5.8.5 before, but just now downloaded and compiled with VC6, doing: cd perl-5.8.5\win32 vcvars32 nmake nmake test and got no compile errors. I did get 2 of 86043 subtests failed during test. In my VC6 dirs, time.h is in include/ rather than include/sys/ but I didn't see any error on this during compile. Alan
