Thanks, I will try to reproduce it on a colleague's box on Monday. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]

What versions of Windows are being used here? You didn't mention, neither did NetWallah. In my `berrybrew` work, I found that there are differences in the functionality of `cmd.exe` regarding copy/paste on different versions of Windows. I may be able to do some testing here if I know what versions of Windows.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

To make it even more complicated Windows has a full flegded Terminal app now - with tabs and everything, which behaves differently to the old cmd.exe window. For instance, the terminal supports wide unicode code points, the regular shell doesn't. holli You can lead your users to water, but alas, you cannot drown them.	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks! :) > What versions of Windows are being used here? `Edition: Windows 10 Enterprise Version: 1903 OS-Build: 18362.657` [download] > functionality of cmd.exe regarding copy/paste on different versions of Windows. Yes they constantly add new "features" and settings. Could also be my employer fiddling with the registry (it's a work environment) I'm pretty sure I didn't see this happening in the past, but can't exclude the possibility that I changed something. My guess is some heuristic to detect line-breaks fails and 72 spaces are added. I'll also have a look into perl5db.pl later.
