both gave:

# Useless use of private array in void context.
File 'c:MacPerl Ä:lib:auto:DynaLoader:dl_findfile.al'; Line 105
# Missing right bracket,File 'c:MacPerl
Ä:lib:auto:DynaLoader:dl_findfile.al'; Line 108
# syntax error, at EOF
File 'c:MacPerl Ä:lib:auto:DynaLoader:dl_findfile.al'; Line 108

File 'c:MacPerl Ä:lib:DynaLoader.pm'; Line 145
# BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
File 'c:MacPerl Ä:lib:Mac:AppleEvents.pm'; Line 336
# BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
File 'perl:Desktop Folder:CN's AE test.pl'; Line 7
# Scalars leaked: 5

with 5.1.4b1
and both worked flawlessly with 5.1.3r2 (big), so I assume it is not my setup
(I use Applescript/Frontier daily, and just recently got RAM enough to run
Perl thru Frontier which is a nice setup...)
