Did you also install the opensp parser? http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2115&package_id=2869&release_id=380406 > 14.

I think the problem is with your perl install, but whether it is just your installation or an incompatibility for all windows machines is not clear yet. > It is also interesting that advice was given that TEMP files are not used, > yet are referred to in the OpenSP.pm has, at line 63.
