Using build 5.00503 build 518 on win 98 or 5.00502 on Unix I am having no luck compiling programs. Here are some errors I get​:

************ 1 *************
platform​: windows 98​:
Compile​: executable

test.pl containing only​:
print "hello world";

I get​:
Making C(test.pl.c) for test.pl!
D​:\usr\bin\perl.exe -ID​:/usr/lib -ID​:/usr/site/lib -I. -MO=CC,-otest.pl.c test.p
l
test.pl syntax OK
Compiling C(test) for test.pl!
Couldn't open !

The "couldn't open" is in sub _getSharedObjects, looks like it is trying to open a blank file name.

I tried modifying sub _getSharedObjects to​:
.
.
.
  if ($Config{'osname'} eq 'MSWin32')
  {
  my ($tmpprog);
  ($tmpprog = $sourceprog) =~ s"(.*)[\/\\](.*)"$2";
  $tmpfile = "$tmpprog.tst";
  $incfile = "$tmpprog.val";
  }
  else
.
.
.

The compiler continues but then I get the error​:

erl.pl syntax OK
Compiling C(erl) for erl.pl!
D​:\usr\bin\perl.exe -ID​:/usr/lib -ID​:/usr/site/lib -I. erl.pl.tst

Bad command or file name

perl.exe is located in the d​:\usr\bin directory and is working fine.

************ 2 *************
Platform​: Win 98 / Unix​:
Compile​: executable or module

On unix while compiling or if I get further on win98 making an executable, I get the error​:
Can't locate object method "FLAGS" via package "B​::SPECIAL" at D​:/usr/lib/B/Stackobj.pm line 216.

Once or twice I have gotten further but I then get the error​:
Undefined symbol `_runops' referenced from text segment

Any help would be greatly apreciated!
