Hi ntom, This is *not* a setup problem, it is a problem in the selected implementation of parallel processing, which is simply not compatible with Windows. Quoting from http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/BDARRAH/Proc-ParallelLoop-0.5/README: "Proc::ParallelLoop This is a perl module, along with an executable shell interface, that provides looping constructs similar to "for" and "foreach", except that the loop bodies can be executed in parallel. [...] *At least for now, this is not likely to work with Active Perl for Windows. * If you can get it to work without harming the unix functionality, I would love to hear from you. Enjoy, -- Byron C. Darrah [email protected]" I pointed out this to Robin in earlier this year, but he seems to have forgotten about it. :) I also prepared and sent him a patched version based on the most recent version (at that time) which, amongst other things, senses which OS it is running on, and uses "pareach" of proc::parallelloop only if running on a non-Windows OS. The patch can be found here: ftp://gnypp45main.dynalias.net/patch_r134_mod Please note that this patch was created in July for version r134 in the trunk. (The correspondingly patched script is here: ftp://gnypp45main.dynalias.net/flac2mp3_r134_mod.pl) If you want to try out my modified version which supports copying over album art (both embedded and jpg files placed in the folders) -a feature not yet implemented in the "offical" version - then download it from here: ftp://gnypp45main.dynalias.net/flac2mp3_wPics.zip I hope this helps (both for you and for Robin :)! -- gnypp45 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gnypp45's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15106 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71145 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
