in thread cannot gmake Math-Random Random.xs.dll

Dude! If I could reach through the monitor and hug you I would! Totally fixed. Totally operable :)

This does beg the question though...won't having Strawberry mingw above Rtools mingw cause problems for Rtools? Or is Rtools a bit more robust in that way?

I've dabbled in enough bits'n'bobs to know that more often than not, more is better when it comes to solving these sorts of issues. You know, help me help you kind of situation. And besides, after searching around here for a solution before posting it became apparent very quickly that the standard is pretty high here. Even the not so serious monks put most other posters on most other tech forums to shame. I'm very impressed :)

Thanks again!!!!

    Not necessarily, but it might. You'll just have to suck it and see ;-)

    I'm actually a little bit puzzled that the given solution worked for the specific problem you presented.
    You were getting "undefined reference" errors to various perl symbols, and yet the output you presented clearly shows that you were linking to libperl526.a (D:\STRAWB~1\perl\lib\CORE\libperl526.a).
    And libperl526.a definitely resolves those symbols.

    Cheers,
    Rob

    In a way, you can: the Offering Plate!   (hint, hint :-)
