Re: finding perl58.dll

I'd guess perl58.dll is pretty specific to an ActiveState installation so using the same path as given by $^X is likely to be safe.

Note that the related type library and header are in '../lib/CORE/' with respect to the folder containing perl.exe (or wperl.exe).

I'd guess perl58.dll is pretty specific to an ActiveState installation It's pretty specific to a Win32 installation. That said, it needs to be in the directory of the .exe that uses it or in the `$ENV{PATH}`, so I'd imagine it can also be found heuristically in most cases. -xdg Code written by xdg and posted on PerlMonks is public domain.
