Hi Paul,
        sorry, I hadn't seen your mail directly to me - it was auto-sorted in to my curl
folder, which I only check every day or two.

I think CURLOPT_STDERR may be new - I don't remember seeing it before. Dealing
with new file handles through perl requires specific tests in the XS code, so
I'll slate this for 1.1.10 (or is that 1.2).

Yes, I meant easy.pm, sorry. I'll fix the docs.

I haven't had that error, though I did get some strangeness on my mandrake box
that has curl-7.8 as a system RPM as well as my 7.9.4 test install. I'll go
through this again on a clean box and see what might be the problem (along with
the ERRBUFFER issue you raised with me...)

P.S. I moved this thread to the curl library list - it's not relevant to curl
command line users.
