I think you need to upgrade your Perl to the latest in the DJGPP 
archive. Which release are you using?

Alternatively, using the one that Andrew Cottrell recommended in a 
separate thread is also a good idea.

I seem to recall there was some bug relating to the handling of 
environment variables in Perl. That bug may be causing this problem.
