Somewhere on your system you have two different files called perl510.dll. The one installed with the AS distribution; and the one that doesn't export the Perl_croak_xs_usage entrypoint.

When you revert to the earlier perl installation and things work, it is because the "other perl510.dll" is still being found, but it now matches the one from the earlier perl distribution, so everything works. What you need to do, if you wish to upgrade to the latest version of Perl, is isolate where that hidden dll is located.

My guess is that when you are trying to package whatever it is you are trying to package, it has a dependency upon something that is already packaged--and was packaged using the earlier distribution.

In order to upgrade, you need to repackage that dependency (and any prepackaged dependencies it might have), before you will be able to package anything that has that currently down-level package as a dependency,
