Re^3: Class::MOP and MOP.dll

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]

Am I 'OP'? Yes. You are the Original Poster. I don't think I can use this solution, because I already have build 822... It seems that from ikegami's investigation that the entrypoint that cannot be loaded is `Perl_newXS_flags` which you should see mentioned in a pop-up dialog when the load fails (and should have mentioned in your post). The problem appears to be that this entrypoint required bu Class::MOP is not exported by the perl58.dll that is built by AS822. Despite what ikegami said in Re^2: Class::MOP and MOP.dll, it seems that he got success using build 824. You should upgrade and try again. I know of no other solution.

OK, thanks. BTW, I got no pop-up dialogs when running. Perhaps it is due to how I run this... I have a macro in UltraEdit that feeds my current file to the perl interpreter, which captures the output in my output box, and I saw no pop-up dialogue.	[reply]

dumpbin is one of the utilities that ships with most Microsoft Compiler packages - we can probably get by without it. What we really needed to see was the message in the popup box that (we're assuming) you got. I already have build 822 All I can verify is that the trouchelle ppm package of Class-MOP (Class-MOP-0.66) works fine for me on build 824 - ikegami found the same. Maybe build 822 is unsuitable, after all. (It's ok to install build 824 straight over the top of 822.) Cheers, Rob	[reply]
