in thread Perl_croak_xs_usage problem

BrowserUk, Thanks a lot for your continued help!

If I search perl*.dll on my local drives, all I find is located in C:\Perl\bin\: I doubt, that code from a network drive will be used. In addition my PATH has no drive letter except for C:\... in it.

So I doubt that any "other DLL" exists...

    Your problem is that PAR wraps up all the files into the single .par file; which is essentially a .zip file. From the PAR documentation:

    This module lets you use special zip files, called Perl Archives, as libraries from which Perl modules can be loaded. ... A .par file is mostly a zip of the blib/ directory after the build process of a CPAN distribution

    So, a simply search of your file system will not look inside any .par file dependancies. You would need to use some kind of .zip browser or unzip utility to look inside them.

    As a crude test, you might try: 

    findstr /s /m perl510.dll c:\*.par

    [download]

    Note:That will not be fast. But it should give you a list of .par files that contain a reference to the errent dll.

    They must. Or you OS is lying to you.

    A slightly more targetted approach if you have unzip.exe: 

    for /r c:\ %p in (*.par) do @echo %p && unzip -l "%p" | find "perl510.
+dll"

    [download]

    That should give you a list of the .par files on your system along with any that contain the errent dll.

      Both lists were empty! There exists no .par file on my C and D drives!
      Syntax is correct though, I created an empty par file and it was found...

        It's there somewhere. Did you try .zip?
