It appears that the Perl 5.8.0 works in most situations, but not all. In the
next update I will put uploading the latest Perl 5.6.1 and changing the info
on Perl 5.8.0 to be use at your own risk just in case people need it for
some reason.

The Perl 5.6.1 available is a bit old, but works okay under 2K/XP and it
does not have the patch that Richard included in the other email as this is
only a recent change.

Apart from Richard's patch you could try fixing it yourself as I don't have
the time to spend on this.
