Don't know what kind of hacked version of perl you got, but you need to give -i something.

From perlrun: `-i[extension] ... If no extension is supplied, no backup is made and the current file is overwritten.` [download] However, on Dos and some other OSes the extension is mandatory. This is due to the fact that these OSes cannot unlink an open file. -- John.	[reply] [d/l]
