Hello, I have compiled perl 5.8.8 on windows XP with Microsoft visual studio 8 2005 Pro. edition. Compilation is successful. Key points are: compiled perl with thread support off, perlio=off, largefilesupport=off. Now with this new perl, I have compiled our module <Abcd> to generated Abcd.dll ( perl58.lib is linked with Abcd ). Abcd.pm is copied to perl\lib directory. and Abcd.dll ... in site. When I use our module in perl script, i.e perl script a.pl use Abcd; I got following error .... Can't load '....perl5/site/lib/MSWin32-x86/auto /Abcd/Abcd.dll' for module Abcd: load_file: This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem at .../perl5 /lib/MSWin32-x86/DynaLoader.pm line 229. at a.pl line 3 Compilation failed in require at a.pl line 3. at a.pl line 3 main::BEGIN() called at .../lib/Abcd.pm line 3 eval {...} called at BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at a.pl line 3. When I debugged, I found that, in Abcd.pm, the statement bootstrap Abcd $Version; fails to load Abcd.dll. I donot know what's wrong I have done? Because, Same module Abcd works with perl 5.6.1 non-threaded perl for last 2 years.
