Perl_newsxs_flags could not be located in perl58.dll

[cavedude]

the procedure entry point Perl_newXS_flags could not be located in the dynamic link library perl58.dll

I have grown pretty tired giving out the link explaining to people how to correct the above error. So, one last time here is the link: http://www.peqtgc.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=5264

Please search, guys.

Anyone know the fix for this? Projecteq.net is down and having the information here would be helpful.

That link is broken it seems

Assuming you already have some version of Perl 5.8 installed, here is a link to the file you need.

Put it in either your a) Windows\System32 or b) Perl\bin folder, overwriting where prompted.

I just did what I found here:

and I no longer get the error. Apparently the rebooting did the trick.

I should mention I used PPM to install DBI and OI-Stringy only. I could not find DBD-MySql or DBIx-MySqlSequence.

Yes, that is the most complete way to fix the error.

The issue lies in the fact that the perl interpreter (perl58.dll in this case) does not have that entry point in the version of perl that people are instructed to download through the setup guide on the wiki.

The 822 revision has the entry point, and so uninstall/reinstalling does the trick.

So what version of perl did you end up using on your xp build?

[So_1337]

It was 5.8.8.824. I used the PPM manager to install the DBI-mysql and IO-stringy modules to be sure, but I just uninstalled them to check, and the server loaded just fine.

Just to reiterate:

EQEmu server (build 884 binaries) running on a Windows XP computer using the 5.8.8.824 installation of perl with no additional modification.

Check your windows/system32 folder for the perl58.dll file and make sure to delete it if it is there.

I've tried every solution i've found on the forums and i still can't get server to load. Keep getting error..
the procedure entry point Perl_newXS_flags could not be located in the dynamic link library perl58.dll
I've uninstall deleted reinstall removed perl folder removed perldll from system32 folder every idea i've read on posts i've downloaded and installed every version of perl from ActivePerl-5.8.7.813-MSWin32-x86-148120 to ActivePerl-5.10.1.1006-MSWin32-x86-291086 nothing will work. Could it possibly be a Vista issue? I can run start.bat in admistrator mode and i no longer get the perl error but then i get world and eqlaunch.exe error's. I've had my own server up and running before about a year ago on an older comp running xp never seen this error. I've been working on this for 2weeks and i'm finally just completely stumped any new idea would be greatly welcomed. I'm running vista service pack 2.

uninstall perl58 completely, use perl10.
Make sure your paths are accurate. Are you compiling from scratch?

[OscarGrouch05]

ActivePerl-5.10.1.1006-MSWin32-x86-291086.msi- i'm going to try running both perl's perl58.dll and perl510.dll don't forget to copy perl5.8.7.exe file and perl58.dll it should work on all clinet's now 80)

if getting that error after following steps above use another verson of 5.8 this does work fine for all client's now. 80) just need one copy of the file in C:\Perl\bin

Step by Step
1. if you have perl installed goto C:\Perl\bin copy and paste perl58.dll and perl5.8.7.exe to another folder
2. remove any version of ActivePerl you have installed
3. installl ActivePerl-5.10.1.1006-MSWin32-x86-291086.msi
4. after done installing copy and paste perl58.dll and perl5.8.7.exe to C:\Perl\bin
5. Done now it'll work on both client's perl58.dll and with perl510.dll
