Re^9: win32 thread version (oops)

Rob, your test

perl -MErrno -e "print \"ok\""
[download]

returns "ok" with no error. The memcached sample code is now also able to run...
It seems to work, then thank you.. what exactly is going on that lead to the original error, do you know?
Cheers,
TDG

Credit where credit's due ... it was actually tye's observation that led to this solution. I don't know what caused the original error. It's unusual for there to be 2 versions of Errno.pm in an ActivePerl installation. I still can't get a handle on how the problem has come about. At some stage during the 5.8.x releases ActiveState started putting their non-CORE (default) modules in perl/lib. Previously, those modules would have been in perl/site/lib. At the same time, they changed @INC to put perl/site/lib ahead of perl/lib. I think you must have done an upgrade during that "changeover" phase, and that's what's stuffed things up ... but I still can't get a handle on the exact nature of the problem ... and i wonder if there aren't other modules that are similarly affected.

Well thank you very much all, I doubt I would have been able to fix this one at all. I went on to get Memcached working and am enjoying testing it. Best, Craig.	[reply]
