Your standalone script from http://beyondgrep.com/ack-2.12-single-file shows this warning with Strawberry Perl strawberry-perl-5.14.4.1-32bit (perl 5, version 14, subversion 4 (v5.14.4) built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread) on Windows 7.

U:\>perl ack-2.12-single-file aaaaaaaa
Can't use string ("C:\ProgramData\ackrc") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at ack-2.12-single-file line 4223.

This has been fixed on the dev branch and will be in 2.14. Unfortunately, I'm still getting build errors on 2.13_06. If you can help solve our build problems on 2.13_06 that would be a huge help.

Seeing as this has been fixed, can we close this issue?
