IO::All error on my PC

[MyMarlboro]

Hi,
When I try to use the IO::All module, I get the following error.
My PC is Windows XP and Perl v 5.7.8

String found where operator expected at C:/Perl/site/lib/IO/All.pm line 12, near

Did you modify or edit the IO::All module? I don't even see this: "piffy_constructor 'io'" in the module anywhere.

Thanks for reply.
No, i didn't modify it.

the module as below:

package IO::All;
use strict;
use warnings;
use 5.006_001;
our $VERSION = '0.17';
use Spiffy 0.16 '-base', qw(!field);
use Fcntl qw(:DEFAULT :flock);
use Symbol;
use File::Spec;
our @EXPORT = qw(io);
 
spiffy_constructor 'io';
 
#===============================================================================
# Basic Setup
#===============================================================================
sub field;
field autoclose => 1;
field block_size => 1024;
...

MyMarlboro,

Please use the code tags rather than using the [B][/B] tags. It makes it much easier to read as well as being the preferred method. I have corrected your post above.
