[perl-win32-gui-users] Can't find "PL_memory_wrap" in "perl58.dll"....

[marco h. <mar...@gm...>]

Hello,
I have ActivePerl5.8 and WindowsXP
I tried to install win32::32 1.05, because I want to use the grid 
package, which is not a part of version 1.03 (which you can install from 
activestate repository). But after installing version 1.05 as described
( with ppm install ./Win32-GUI.ppd after removing the old win32::gui 
installation) and starting a script, come the error message in a window

Der Prozedureinsprung "PL_memory_wrap" wurde in der DLL "perl58.dll" 
nicht gefunden.
That means: Can't find "PL_memory_wrap" in "perl58.dll", I think

The interpreter tolds:


Can't load 'C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/Win32/GUI/GUI.dll' for module 
Win32::GUI: load_file:Die angegebene Prozedur wurde nicht gefunden at 
C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 230.
  at F:/Temp/guigridtest.pl line 1
Compilation failed in require at F:/Temp/guigridtest.pl line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at F:/Temp/guigridtest.pl line 1.

The line 1 of the script is:

use Win32::GUI();

Where's the mistake?

Thanks and regards,
Marco

What version of Perl 5.8?  Can you post the output of
   perl -v

I built the Win32::GUI 1.05 distribution against ActivePerl 5.8.7, and 
I've since read that there may be binary incompatibilities with earlier 
5.8 perl's, but you're the first report I've had of this ...

OK, That fits with what I said about a binary incompatibility between 
ActivePerl 5.8.6 and ActivePerl 5.8.7 - It's generally not noticeable, 
but if you try to run an extension built with ActivePerl builds between 
813 and 817 against an earlier 5.8 perl installation you might see this 
problem.  Unfortunately Win32-GUI 1.05 is build against ActivePerl build 
813.

My recommendation would be to upgrade your Perl installation to at least 
ActivePerl 5.8.7 (build 813).  If you really can't do this, then let me 
know and I'll build you a special release that shouldn't have this problem.

Thanks for the report, I'll ensure that future releases don't suffer 
from this problem.

Regards,
Rob.
