The simplest workaround is to copy c:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl512.dll to c:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl511.dll I'm thinking a slightly better solution would be to copy C:/strawberry\perl\lib\CORE\libperl511.a to C:/strawberry\perl\lib\CORE\libperl512.a and then change the `libperl` entry in C:/strawberry/perl/lib/Config_heavy.pl to `'libperl512.a'`. That would be better only in that it brings the `libperl` setting into line with the convention (of matching the perl version number). Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I installed strawberry-perl-5.12.0.1.msi on Windows 7 Enterprise over a lastest MacBook Pro (iCore 7). I then run "cpan PAR::Packer" under DOS. But I first encountered a problem that I now forgot. After adding "C:\strawberry\c\libexec\gcc\i686-w64-mingw32\4.4.3" to the PATH environment variable, that problem has gone. However, I had the next problem: C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe -e "chmod(oct('0444'), '..\blib\lib\PA +R\StrippedPARL\Dynamic.pm');" dmake.EXE: Error: -- `script\parldyn.exe' not found, and can't be mad +e RSCHUPP/PAR-Packer-1.004.tar.gz C:\strawberry\c\bin\dmake.EXE -- NOT OK [download] After running: `copy C:\strawberry\perl\lib\CORE\libperl511.a C:\strawberry\perl\lib\ +CORE\libperl512.a` [download] and installing the PAR::Packer again, the parldyn.exe still cannnot be found. When I run: `copy C:\strawberry\perl\lib\CORE\libperl511.a C:\strawberry\perl\lib\C +ORE\libperl512.a` [download] it failed because libperl512.a has already been there (while libperl511.a was not) and in C:/strawberry/perl/lib/Config_heavy.pl, the libperl entry is already set to 'libperl512.a'. I then run the installation again, but the same problem occurred (`script\parldyn.exe' not found). Any solutions? Thanks.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thats hilarious. ActiveState had problems like that with their build system, but they release more often.	[reply]

ActiveState had problems like that with their build system, but they release more often. Just to be clear about this - the problem was not specific to Strawberry's build system. It was a bug in the perl source that affected every build of perl (not just Strawberry) that was built using 'dmake'. The bug was actually in 'win32/makefile.mk', and therefore did not affect perls built using 'nmake' (such as ActvePerl) - which use 'win32/Makefile' instead. Cheers, Rob	[reply]

Aha ... I really hate those, the other platforms have it much easier with Configure :/	[reply]
