I've changed my perl call from #!/home/bin/perl -w to #!/home/bin/perl -wC and
now if I give CR <ctl Z> CR it does what <ctl D> was documented to do. I guess
this should be considered as a workround?

        Many thanks for your support.  Regards Ian.

PS the perl news group gave this reply
It used
to use standard C stream functionality to implement readline() (which
is what gets called by the <> operator. As of 5.8.0 there is an extra
PerlIO layer in there, but I would be extremely surprised if that
fiddled with terminal settings.
