    The feature isn't supported on Unix/Linux either - I think that's the reason why it is also absent from Cygwin Perl.

      Actually I ran the OPs program on my system, and the program failed because of the wart, so it was a legitimate query. My perl version (5.14) is more recent than the OP, so the program should run, warts and all. :-)
