[Assp-test] Perl 5.38.0.1 for Windows - updated

[Thomas E. <Tho...@th...>]

Hi all,

a new build of perl 5.38.0.1 for windows is available at sourceforge

https://sourceforge.net/projects/assp/files/ASSP%20V2%20multithreading/ASSP%20V2%20module%20installation/strawberry-perl-5.38.0.1-64bit_gcc13-relocateable_4-assp.7z

This perl was build using the GNU GCC version 13 (the version available 
until today was compiled with GCC 8.3.0) and the modified perl module 
Perl::Dist::Strawberry

gcc version 13.1.0 (MinGW-W64 x86_64-msvcrt-posix-seh, built by Brecht 
Sanders)

Several perl modules got a correction to prevent unexpected errors and 
crashes - for example Win32::Unicode (SEGV in Win32::Unicode::Dir because 
of wrong pointers in C-code).

The module DBD::mysql was upgraded to version 5.002 using the GNU-compiled 
mysql (liblibmysql.dll) library version 8.0.35. The mysql lib-version 
8.0.35 is not able to connect to mysql servers version 5.1 (and lower) 
using a password.
Connecting to any version 8 mysql server is no problem (as well as version 
5.7). Connecting to mysql servers version 5.5 is not tested, but should 
work.
The installed liblibmysql.dll library version 8.0.35 requires an installed 
msvcr100.dll (Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x64 Redistributable)

All libraries, header files and perl modules in this build are uptodate 
for 2023.11.12 14:00:00 GMT
and all components required to run assp are included.

The current location of this build is "C:\perl" - if you extract the build 
in to this location, there is nothing more to do (check the perl PATH env 
variable).
If you want or need to extract the build in to a different location - 
extract - and .....
After extraction add the new perl PATH to your env.
Open a command prompt, cd in to the extracted folder and run 
"relocation.pl.bat" - DONE.
