Trying to use pp to create a Perl executable from a Perl script. Command line used is

Error I get is "The procedure entry point Perl_hv_common_key_len could not be located in the dynamic link library perl58.dll"

Did you install PAR and PAR::Packer via PPM? Consider upgrading form 5.8.9 if possible.	[reply]

Which repository did you use? The reason I ask is that I think packages aren't compatible with your version of Perl. You could remove them with PPM and try installing them via `cpan`.	[reply] [d/l]
