I can't reproduce the problem:

I'm using build 822 of ActivePerl. Are you using the same version ? Just 
enter 'perl -v' at the command prompt to find out. Here's what I get:

----------------------------------------
C:\_32>perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.8 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 18 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)
