As I suspected there's a difference at what time is called 0 (seemed unlikely that *nix uses the same as Win32). If someone will let me know when 0 time is for the gettimeofday perl6 is assuming, I can work out the appropriate fiddle factor for Win32. Also, note that Hong Zhang ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) has pointed out a simplification (1 API call rather than 2)... and given I think I've found a working Gnu Diff for Win32 I may be able to submit a real patch (but it'll be the morning before I get sorted out).
