Which OS and perl version are you on? At the moment it is looking like
gnc might need a more recent version of strawberry perl on Win but I

with the FQ people as appropriate.
I'm running gnucash on Arch Linux, perl version 5.30.1 https://www.perl.org/
Getting a more up to date perl on Win sorted it out. I'll put this on the
bug-list as it seems gnc on Win has no way of working out when it needs a new
perl.
Perl 5 is very stable in terms of language features and mstaruk.pm has had only
a couple of string changes--no code--since it was first contributed 6 years ago.
The problem was more likely that something was wrong with the perl instance:
Either it got corrupted or Microsoft pushed a subtly incompatible change to one
of its dependencies. Did you try reinstalling the same version of perl that you
had?
Nope, I generally prefer a newer working perl
What is your resistance to a nice new perl if there is some oddity in a
previous one?
Some people don't like change.
