I was looking into my bootstrap problems a little just now, and discovered a syntax error in dl_findfile.al. There's a missing right brace. I think it should go just after line 97 in :MacPerl Ä:lib:auto:DynaLoader:dl_findfile.al, just before: if ($dl_debug) { foreach(@dirs) { print STDERR " dl_findfile ignored non-existent directory: $_\n" unless -d $_; Some simple tests before I stuck the extra brace in gave me the same "Scalars leaked: 4" message I've been getting with LWP. And LWP-5.11 now works with the standard Base64.pm. --- Paul J.
