Dear Sir,

I am writing to thank you for your letter and say that

you may have found a bug.

I don't think too many people are running embedded Perl Nag/Netsaint
(ePN) with Perl 5.8.0.

This Perl is a pretty different beast (apparently) with a different
thread implementation and platform independent (bypasses stdio) IO.

Does the mini-epn in the contrib directory build and run ?

When this dumps (if it builds) it may give you a better back trace.

Sounds like more ePN porting work necessary.

You may be able to workaround it by installing Perl 5.6.1 in a different
location and then building the ePN with that Perl (give the path to that
Perl to configure some how).

Does the ePN actually start ?

Yours sincerely.
