Perl causing scheduler to hang

[Cosmic Cruizer]

I'm using the Windows 2000 Server scheduler to execute a few Perl scripts.
Unfortunately, several of the scripts appear to be causing the Windows
scheduler to hang. I'm using Perl, v5.6.1 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-
thread, binary build 631 provided by ActiveState.

This is the only server I'm using this version of Perl and it's the only
server having problems where Perl appears to be causing the scheduler to
hang. Has anybody else experienced problems with Perl causing the Windows
2000 scheduler to hang? If so, did you find a way to resolve the problem?

Thanks
