Not a problem, glad I could be of assistance. If you previously sent 
other screen shots that showed the errors just trying to use cpan, I'm 
sorry I missed them.

I realize I should not have even suggested this, using cpan to reinstall 
IO::Handle would require the IO::Handle module which was at least part 
of your issue. As HJS would say, "D'Oh!".

As you found out later, since you found artifacts of an older install, 
then you didn't completely remove Strawberry Perl as I suggested. But as 
long as you worked it out, cool beans!

*This* was likely the key that caused all your headaches.

Again, not a problem.
