Hi Monks,

I am facing a problem to execute code on Windows 2000 using ActiveState Perl v5.8.3 (build 809). Here is my scenario. I have a sample programme written in .xs file say a.xs and I am testing few functions from another .pl file say b.pl. To generate dll file I have a Makefile.PL. This Makefile.PL is running fine on Perl v5.6.1 and build the dll file but when I tried to build on Perl v5.8.3 using this Makefile.PL, I received error. Then I removed objXSUB.h header file from Makefile.PL and then the code compiled successfully and generated the dll file. But this dll file is not giving expected behaviour. e.g. I have following checking in a.xs file to check the validity of input parameters 

if( !SvROK(ST(1)) ) 
{
   printf("\nDEBUG: second parameter not found.\n");
  XSRETURN_IV(1);
}

printf("\nDEBUG: second parameter found.\n");

I am always getting the output as DEBUG: second parameter found.. Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
