in reply to DBD-Pg.dll crashes on Win2K w/ ActiveState 5.8

Without error details, all we can do is guess. You might try giving us a trivial program that causes the error, and give us the complete error message. Then someone would have a place to start guessing from. As it is, we can only make guesses.

Please review:

    Hi roboticus,

    Thanks for trying to answer. I was actually hoping someone has direct relevant experience with settings that approach mine (DBD-Pg.dll on Win2k with ActiveState Perl).

    There are NO error details to provide, as can be inferred from my message : perl.exe crashes, I get a windows box with a useless message "Address violation at 0x534721789 : the memory cannot be read" (or something like that).

    The "ideal answer" I was hoping for went along the lines "I use DBI + DBD-Pg.dll without problems on Win2K with ActiveState 5.10 (or 5.12)" - then I could upgrade my perl installation and try again.

    The "anti-ideal answer" would have been "I use DBI + DBD-Pg.dll without problems with ActiveState 5.8.8 on Win XP. Tried it on Win 2K and it caused perl to crash as well." - then I would know there is no solution for me since I can't change the OS ...
