Did you use Win9x/ME? Or NT/2K/XP? I can imagine the problem is only on the former series.

Especially if, as you write, > Pod::Perldoc has a great deal of MSWin-specific hacks in it already (like a > bunch of temp-file stuff -- File::Temp doesn't get used at all under MSWin > -- see the code around "sub new_tempfile") since I think the problem is with File::Temp creating files in binmode. So if that's not used, the problem might go away. Cheers, Philip
