Do you sugguest I update to 5.8.2.
I honestly don't think there's any reason to update to perl 5.8.2. I updated to test multithreading on Windows. There are apparently still multithreading issues in some of the modules as evidenced by errors like these: Attempt to free unreferenced scalar: SV 0x280bac00 at C:/Perl/lib/IO/Socket.pm line 46. Attempt to free unreferenced scalar: SV 0x280bac00 at C:/Perl/lib/IO/Socket.pm line 46. Attempt to free unreferenced scalar: SV 0x280bac00 at C:/Perl/lib/IO/Socket.pm line 46.

Attempt to free unreferenced scalar: SV 0x280bac00 at C:/Perl/site/lib/HTML/Parser.pm line 65. Plus, running just 2 processes, my CPU usage went through the roof and e-mail pretty much came to a standstill. That said, I don't think Net-DNS-12 is still required. I believe that the current Net::DNS works fine as long as you set RES_NAMESERVERS or have Win32::Registry installed. Bret
