All,
I have been trouble shooting a problem running the Parrot test suite. This is on Win32 using AS Perl 5.10.0 with MinGW. The issue is that I was getting a windows pop up indicating that perl588.dll could not be found. I tracked the problem down to the following line: 
eval { require Moose; };

[download]

It turns out that when I de-installed AS 5.8.8, it did not remove the XS modules from \perl\site\lib and I had Moose installed there from the previous version. I fixed my problem by removing the offending module but I want to fix this for everyone. Here is the problem:

Since this is a windows error, you need to determine which version of perl an XS module was linked against without loading it. Anyone have any ideas on how this might be accomplished?

Update: "...but I want to fix this for everyone" should have read "but I want to fix smartlinks.t in the parrot test suite for everyone.

Cheers - L~R
