How can I investigate this? > [Does perl do different things for sys and backtick?] If you are using the same perl in both VS2003 and VS2005, why do you believe that perl is at fault? You have the VS2003 and VS2005 shortcuts. Compare them and the environments they produce and identify the differences. use tools such as procmon and procexp to determine what processes are in use and what operations are being performed. in any case, it is clear this is a configuration issue not a makefile issue. This ticket should in my opinion be closed and if you need help from the kfwdev community, you should ask for help there.
