Hi Monks,

I have ActivePerl 5.10.1.1006 installed. I convert my Perl scripts since some time now using the PAR module (pp --output=pte.exe pte.pl).
Today, after changing the Perl code and using some more modules, I find the following message box.

The procedure entry point Perl_croak_xs_usage could not be located in the dynamic link library perl510.dll.

Afterwards the console says:
Set up gcc environment - 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3)

Seems that this is not the reason, since I have no Perl 5.8 installed and nothing changed here in the last time.

How to do that on Windows?
How to find out, which module it was?
How to find out the "Perl version" of the module?

I only installed perl modules using "ppm" and the perl5.10 repositories...

Thanks
Lukas
