Sorry about that. I added that so I could get a better idea of what was
happening.

Mac, Windows - Uhg. Nope, not me. ;-)

Unfortunately, I could not check the $/ parameter. That may have been the
problem, though. I reinstalled everything from scratch so I can't check this.
Perhaps 5.005_2 doesn't set this properly and 5.005_3 does.

BTW, I would like to apologize to the mailing list for my impatience. 

Sincerely, Joel Griffiths
