Which version of perl? There was/is a bug in version 5.80 -5.85 that cause certain operations with @_ to fail. This is particularly noticable with "goto" where one wishes to preserve the stack and not further nest subroutine calls. It was fixed in 5.086 and is not present in earlier versions. There may be other issues surrounding this, but this is the one the "bit" my modules. In some cases I have been able to work around it in others the module carry a warning in the make file that the perl library must be up/down graded to function. It seems that 5.84 is standard in many distributions. Hope this helps. Michael
