Thanks for the info. I'll give 1077 a shot and see if there is any improvement.

Same issue. I've tried several of the precompiled binaries including the newest as well as some older ones that I know I had working something... Hrm... Wonder what it could be.

Has anyone found any resolution to this issue? I'm having the same exact problem I'm just about to throw in the towel after days of working on it. Everything works perfectly except the quests. I get the same error in log files "perl runtime error: Undefined subroutine &main::eval_file called" for every single quest. Perl works fine outside of EqEmu, MySql words fine, the peq database is all up-to-date. Quest just won't work. Please please if anyone has found a fix for this please post it. Thank you!

Perl Problem/Solution
Posted by: Angelox :: 3 Replies :: 0 Views :: View Thread

Seems EQEmu has a bit of a problem. The newest version of Perl breaks EQEmu. We depend on perl58.lib, which is not found in the newest 5.10 release, obviously. Using this version will prevent quests from working, Cavedude has confirmed that 5.8.5 (PEQ) and 5.8.7 work fine, can't see any reason why 5.8.8 won't work, either. He's updating the installer today, and linking to the 5.8.7 binaries to be safe in it: http://downloads.activestate.com/Act...x86-211909.msi
Anyone who has anything over Perl 5.8.7 , needs to downgrade.

Yep, I installed the required Perl components during the setup, DBI, DBD-MySql, and IO-Stringy. I also tried doing the entire install over with Perl 5.7 and no matter what I do I still get the failure to compile error with quest scripts. How did you get past this problem?

well i would suggest downloading the latest source code and compiling it with visual studio or visual c++ express specificly that way its compiled with whatever is running on your machine, another option is deleting everything and downloading the peq server pack installer and installing from that i use it myself and it works quite well i highly recommend trying this method

Hi Cole, and thanks for the quick reply. Actually that has been my latest plan of action. I wiped everything off the system and started with the peq server install pack 1104. Still having the same problem. Everything works fine except the quests. I can walk up and smack NPCs but they don't respond to hails, etc. And all quests give the compiling error in the logs. I just don't know what else to do.

The quest are there but I dont see on any quest directory that player.pl file that the server is looking for?

Is the eqemu_config file file in need to have a full path for the quests directory since i am not using the eqemu default directory for the server?

But still I dont see these player.pl files bu the quest pl files are in the directory.

Any help would be very appreciated thanks

I'm not sure what could be the issue, but that said, it looks like the quests are not in the folder the server is looking in. In the main server folder, you should have a 'quests' folder. All the quests are in subfolders under that one. My only suggestion is to double then triple check your paths. check for 'spaces' before the folder name. You may want to use a dos prompt to do the checking. Windows explorer is hard to use to see spacing and such. Oh and check the paths one more time.
