Perl 5 is very stable in terms of language features and mstaruk.pm has had only
a couple of string changes--no code--since it was first contributed 6 years ago.
The problem was more likely that something was wrong with the perl instance:
Either it got corrupted or Microsoft pushed a subtly incompatible change to one
of its dependencies. Did you try reinstalling the same version of perl that you
had?
