Then there should be different binaries for different versions > If you really need FILE_SHARE_DELETE that badly, the check would have to be Yeah and async I/O, and other stuff that aren't avaible in perl5 and windows 95/98/Me/CE. If we didn't yet distinguish windows versions, it's the time to do so. > done at runtime. I don't think it's all that necessary though... in fact perl > 5 only uses FILE_SHARE_READ, and that only if the file's not opened for write/append. Does perl5 use FILE_SHARE_READ when >+ and <+ modes are specified? In any case what you said sounds like a bug to me, since this policy restricts other threads(even threads of the same process) to access the file in the indentical mode.
