In Game perl commands

[Apoc.Index]

Yeah, nothing was working.. I just re built the DB again. I found that whe including a perl Folder, I had it as Perl and not perl, like it was in the directory. Im hopeing maybe that fixed it and with the fresh compile.

I also switched to a later version of perl and made sure it was 32bit, im running 64 bit. But It wasnt an issue before so, I must have made a mistake somewhere.

I just need to find it.

In my many reinstallations of EQEMU (box changes, experimentation, etc.) I found that installing Perl -after- MySQL, even if just an update to the Perl version would fubar things, likely due to botching the DBI module linkings, etc.

I can also tell you, that once or twice, I would forget to install the DBI and Stringy-IO.

I would uninstall MySQL completely, reboot. Install the Perl version you're wanting to go with (I'd go with the recommended versions), reboot. Install the DBI and Stringy-IO modules, reboot. Then reinstall MySQL and go from there.

The aforementioned out of order/updating version issues could be why you are experiencing issues. Also, there is the very first installation I ever did. I used a different version Perl on the compiling machine than the one on the machine running EQEmu. That 'broke' Perl as well, where even 'hails' were ignored.

*Edit: Holy necro reply. WTF. This showed up as new (complete with new post icon and all). Very sorry about this. Feel free to delete this post of mine.. damn :/

Hi ghanja. Could you tell me how you solved this problem?

I meet the same problem. All the perl scripts did not work, no any response even type "Hail". But lua scripts worked. I have ever setup the eqemu many time, using physical computer, using vmware, using windows 7 32 bit, using windows 7 64bit, using mysql 5.1 5.5 5.6 5.7, using mariadb, using perl 5.12, using perl 5.16. I even tried to use the installer, but it still did not work.

Could you give me some advice?

uninstall, start over.

go to wiki. read through it once before doing anything, take notes if necessary. (the installer wiki, keep it simple)

install the pre-requesites it "assumes" you have installed -- the proper release, not the most up-to-date in some cases like perl... if 32 bit you need an EXACT version, not just any. all the specifics are in the wiki. if it doesn't work, you missed something... read it again. just remember it wokrs for 1000's of other people, so it's gotta be a local problem, if one arises. (nice way of saying it's your system, not their installer)

maybe turn UAC down in win7, it's a retarded feature anyway. unload any useless real-time anti-virus nonsense running in background. essentially, make sure you don't have any programs causing problems with the install and grabbing things from the net.

from what ghanja said, you want to install perl BEFORE you install maria/mysql -- although i really don't think that matters.

Thank you for your advice. I will try to look over the wiki.

It did not have any error log, when eqemu was running. I have check the perl scripts in the plugins and quests with "perl -c ". perl.exe works perfactly and all the scripts, dadabase, binary were the latest version . I mean that i did everything i could think of.
