in thread exec not working?

Did you close and restart whatever "session" you were running your scripts from following the Perl install and include path change? The session's version of the include path wouldn't be affected by any changes made outside the session or any changes made in child sessions.

Yes - definitely. After some experimentation - and with careful changes to path environment - checking that path has been reloaded prior to running perl - I have found: v5.12.0 will work. v5.12.3 won't work. In both cases I am reasonably confident that there is only one perl.exe on the path at any one time. In both cases 'system' does work correctly with the same parameters as given to 'exec'. I am not saying there is a bug - just commenting on my experience in my installation. Thanks, Ross.
