The likely cause is identified by
try_pl_f4a3.xs: In function 'get_proc_name':
try_pl_f4a3.xs:35:1: warning: function returns address of local variab
+le
Which is telling you that this:
char* get_proc_name( int processID )
{
TCHAR szProcessName[MAX_PATH] = TEXT("<unknown>");
...
return szProcessName;
}
Is a fundamentally flawed piece of code. You are allocating a string on the stack, and then returning a pointer to it from the function. But when the function returns, the stack is unwound and can be reused by other parts of the code.
The only surprising thing here is that you actually get something returned and it doesn't crash.
You need to correct that by allocating space on the heap using Newx() or Newxc() or Newxz(). See perlapi
That said. I wonder why you aren't using Win32::Process::Info?
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
