Hi Thanks, I am running:
This is perl, version 5.005_03 built for i386-freebsd

Will the known issue be resolved in a future release or should I consider
upgrading?

Regards,
Shannon

What version of perl are you running?  If it's 5.005, there's a known issue.

Hey Theo - does this fix this bug as well?

Don't see it updated in the bug list, so thought I'd check.
