Perl is slowly killing me!!
 

Hi Guys,
Trying to setup a new peq server, however having heaps of problems with perl.
I have installed activeperl 5.8.8.822 and when I try to load world.exe I am getting this error.
"The procedure entry point Perl_hv_common_key_len could not be located in the dynamic link library perl58.dll"

I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, deleted perl folder and deleting perl58.dll.
I have also tried download perl 5.10 but getting perl58.dll missing files errors.

I have downlaod latest peqdatabase from svn and am using Vista 64bit.
I have had this working in the past with 64bit but am not having any luck atm.
Anyone got any ideas?

And, the more you uninstall, and re-install, the worse it will get. That's because when you uninstall, Perl does not do a complete uninstall leaves things like old empty Perl directories in the path.
I've never worked with windows "vista", can y ou open up a CMD window type "PATH" and enter , show me the results?

Uninstall Perl.
Delete the old Perl Directory.
Do a search for Perl58.dll and delete all occurrences
Reboot Computer

Download and install this:

64 Bit: http://www.activestate.com/store/dow...d-3206fa5ee789
32 Bit: http://www.activestate.com/store/dow...a-8bb9fc8de401

As mentioned delete the perl58.dll from windows/system32.
I also had this issue and that fixed the problem.

Don't install the 64bit version of perl if you plan to use the import_spells.pl feature cuz there isn't a 64bit version of DBD-mysql :(
