A slight translation may help (but probably not). the 'instruction at "0x77c46fa3"' bit means that an instrustion at that (run time) address. If you can get a symbol dump of the code you can in principle find the (machine language) instruction that is causeing the trouble and should be able to identify the routine that is involved. A much more useful thing generally is to get a stack dump so you can figure out somthing of the context of the failure. You should be able to get at least a partial stack dump from the System Event Viewer.

The 'memory could not be "read"' means an invalid access. The instruction was trying to access memory that the process doesn't own. Normally that means a bad pointer - either uninitialised, or trashed in some fashion. It may be an access beyond the end of an array for example.

What version of Perl and can you post some code that you implicate in generating the problem? How often does it happen?
