A few days ago I found a neat stock application in this
node so I preceded to download the code and run with it a bit(at this time I was running active state perl 5.6 for win32...). I started using PPM to search for the appropriate modules, more specifically the GD, GD::Graph, and GD::Text modules. To my dismay I couldn't find the GD::Text module with ppm to install. So I decided it was time to upgrade to ppm version 3.x and why not just upgrade to perl 5.8 while I'm at it. So everything's upgraded got the 'cool' GD::Text module installed going to run that cool stock casino program, and whamo a "wonderful" little dialog pops up onto my screen"perl.exe - Application Error
The instruction at "0x01d6a113" referenced memory at "0x00000006". The memory could not be "read"" So Perl.exe didn't like something and just bombed, the error is also
here. I posted a question at the ASPN mail listing and
Chunlou recommned that I post the question here! So I am wondering if any other Monks have encountered such problem, and if there is any resolution to it, or am I at the mercy of Active State?
