Re: XML::Simple crashes

Could you have another perl, or another XML DLL, of the same name, loaded at the same time? Windows tends to load the same file twice, even if you specify a full path. If they're not compatible, that might cause a crash.

You were right. After I copied the Perl I have on my PC to the server everything started working fine. This is really rather silly, the EXEcutable's supposed to be selfcontained. I know I need to have the libexpat.dll outside, but that was NOT the problem. There was just one on the computer, not two different ones. Anyway, thanks, it works now.
