For what it's worth I have been unable to run the latest release of
Perl (5.8.0-3) under WinME, but it seems to work fine under Win2k. The
problem I see is the dll's as distributed under cygwin-multi-64
directory with that release cause errors when trying to run the CPAN
utility (perl -MCPAN -e shell). I am unable to install anything out of
the CPAN archive in that way. I just get pop-up boxes saying 'error in
<some>.dll' and then the system hangs or crashes randomly after that,
but it doesn't crash unless I run Perl 5.8.0-3 first.
rebaseall
Still no joy.
I tried rebaseall and it still had the same problems. I verified that
the dll's were in fact modified/rebased and that they all loaded at
unique addresses. It seems that the following dll's loaded from
/lib/perl5/5.8.0/cygwin-multi-64int/auto/* all have this problem on
WinME. I believe that an error in cygwin1.dll that I saw this time was
just colateral damage after the other dll errors. WinME has never been a
model of stability - lol. I'll have to wait on testing anything else
until I have a chance to get physical access to that host and reboot it.
cwd.dll
io.dll
util.dll
fcntl.dll
opcode.dll
hostname.dll
If you have any other suggentions of what to look for that would be
appriciated. Unfortunately I don't have a great deal of time to spend on
this at the moment, so rolling back to the previous version may be my
only option for now. I guess I'll just have to live with it for now.
