Re^7: Segmentation Fault when using LWP::UserAgent

It is not totally clear to me what kind of symbol files are missing and where they had vanished.

You would only have the symbol files for Perl if your copy of perl was built in such a way to produce them, which it isn't. And you have to install an SDK to get symbol files for Windows. In truth the almost certainly wouldn't help you even if you had them.

Have you tried temporarially disabling F-Secure? My bet is that it is the cause here. If so, you'll need to either: download a newer version of it; or report it and wait for them to fix it; or use some other. I've been very happy with Comodo.

Yes, I had disabled F-Secure and also removed all running processes belongig to it - but not during installation. According to the log-files F-Secure had not deleted any files or put them under quarantine. But I will do as you suggested and disable, remove or replace F-Secure. I will let you know the outcome. Thank you so far and best regards.	[reply]

It's just that the stack trace you posted clearly identifies dll;`c:\Programme\F-Secure Internet Security\FSPS\program\FSLSP.DLL`; entrypoint `FSLSP!GetLspGuid` as the source of the segfault.

Now, after replacing F-Secure by Kaspersky Antivirus (I tried your suggestion Comodo first but the installer did not run through), deleting and reinstalling Perl the problem is solved. You had been very helpful in finding the right way out of this problem. Thank you for that and have a nice weekend.	[reply]
