The version of perl that I am using is: This is perl 5, version 16, subversion 3 (v5.16.3) built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread It is the one included in the version XAMPP SERVER_SOFTWARE = Apache/2.4.41 (Win64) OpenSSL/1.1.1c PHP/7.4.3 I tried to perform a cpan -u It appears to be failing the tests mentioned below, with mention of C library msvcrt . What do you think? Am I missing something?

msvcrt is the C run-time from Visual Studio. I'm not sure why it's not just installed on every Windows machine on the planet but I remember back when I used Windows that I sometimes had to install it myself. You can download it from https://www.dll-files.com/msvcrt.dll.html. Caveat downloador, of course! I suppose Devel::CheckLib should be updated to look for some other library for its tests, but what that would be I have no idea.

Thank you so much for your quick reply. I did however find msvcrt in "windows\system32" directory, so just in case it "wasn't finding" I figured that I would place it inside the *perl/bin* directory, and that is when/where I found something interesting, and I hope that it's relevant to our case today. I will try it again before I send this... but for some reason the file is being named as* inside ../perl/bin/* *'msvcrt" * [image: image.png] And again here is another screenshot ... is this possibly relevant?

There may be 32- vs 64-bit issues here which prevented it from finding the file, and if that's the case then linking might fail anyway if you're generating 64-bit binaries and trying to link against something copied from SYSTEM32. But regardless, those files that seem to have been created are ... weird.

I tried to recreate those 'error' files, without any luck, I know when it happened based on the date I also placed the msvcrt.dll that you gave me as a link and placed it in the perl/bin/, but there is no guarantee that it is using 64bit over the presumed 32bit file. C:\xampp\perl\bin\msvcrt.dll Windows NT CRT DLL Version 7.0.18362.1 File size: 758KB C:\Windows\System32\msvcrt.dll Windows NT CRT DLL Version 7.0.18362.1 File size: 624KB Is there supposed to be a file named *perl/bin/msvcrt * ?

You know what ... those error files were my fault now that I recall. I tried to highlight the error code and accidentally pasted it in the terminal ... what may have happened was it created those files from an accidental paste. Sorry to bother you with this.
