I am thinking that in the "emu exes" that the eqemu_update script downloads, the binaries are hard-coded specifically to (Active)Perl 5.12, especially given that being Akkadius' favored version for EQEMU. But when you built your own binaries, the CMake script found your locally-installed perl version.

Not being mean, but: Why build your own server executables and then overwrite them with Akkadius' versions? One of those steps seems at best unnecessary, and at worst you end up with the conflicting dependencies.

I ran the exe updates basically because I barely know what I am doing, to be honest, even after 7ish years. It is a hurtle for me most times I try to update.

If the answer is that the emulator files that are downloaded from github are up to date, then I probably am doing unnecessary or counterproductive work and causing conflicts by selecting the option to retrieve the exe files in update script, like you mentioned.

Thanks for the direction in helping me get back up to date. I will go back and try not selecting this update option, and similar options, this time.
