Hi Thanks very much for the suggestions There does exist a Straps.pm in the location : /ii/pa/perl-5.6.1/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/Test. But I do not have a clue what to change in this file. Can you help me on what to modify in this file Yes, we are looking at a new perl but our os level is 5.1 and hence we cannot go for 5.8.6 Thanks
