Hi Jim,

Try adding this to the start of your code and let me know what the result
is:

	   BEGIN { $diagnostics::DEBUG = 1 } 

The error message is telling you that it could not find the descriptive
text in the perldiag.pod for the diagnostic message it was trying to
display. 

Merry Christmas,
Paul.

The students learn that effective action arises out of silence and a clear
sense of being.  In this they find a source of peace.  They  discover that
the person who is down-to-earth can do what needs doing  more  effectively
than the person who is merely busy.  - Lao Tzu's    "Tao Te Ching"   500BC
