Re: [mv] Repost: Puzzled by runaway perl process

Aaah! I remember, some minivend codes doesn´t run under WINDOWS! It is
the redirections command like

[tag op=header interpolate=1]
Status: 302 moved
Content-type: text/html
Location: [area href="/anypath/anypage.html"]
[/tag]

Maybe, this is the cause of your problems?
