I previously tried to install XML::LibXML from Trouchelle and I got the same error. `>perl -e"use XML::LibXML;" Can't load 'c:/Progs/perl588/site/lib/auto/XML/LibXML/LibXML.dll' for +module XML::LibXML: load_file:The specified procedure could not be fo +und at c:/Progs/perl588/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 230. at c:/Progs/perl588/site/lib/XML/LibXML.pm line 116 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at c:/Progs/perl588/site/lib/XML/Lib +XML.pm line 116.

I believe this sort of problem would be avoided if the trouchelle rep's ppm packages were all built using perl-5.8.0. I have Serguei's email address - I'll drop him a note. Cheers, Rob	[reply]
Re^4: Class::MOP and MOP.dll by BrowserUk (Patriarch) on Oct 11, 2008 at 11:39 UTC
But doesn't that just re-create all the problems and critisisms of AS' repository? Ie. That any package that has dependancies upon post 5.8.0 updates to the core and/or core modules fail to build.

What the OP didn't specify is that Windows displays a dialog saying The procedure entry point Perl_newXS_flags could not be located in the dynamic link library perl58.dll Yes. That was the information I was after. I offered to send him a copy of dumpbin.exe, but he never took me up on it. Still, no need now, you've got this well sussed.

Am I 'OP'? If so, I can't seem to find any info on how/where to get dumpbin.exe. I apologize, as after my last post, I ended up leaving for the weekend with no internet access, so I am back and still have problems. I don't think I can use this solution, because I already have build 822...	[reply]
