This is somewhat confusing. Actually, it's plain wrong - as build 1006 is perl-5.10.1, not 5.10.0. Perhaps you've installed build 1006 over the top of build 1005 and the upgrade hasn't worked properly ? If so, you could try deleting your perl installation entirely and then re-installing build 1006.

If your perl installation is in proper working order (which appears to be *not* the case with your perl), and if you installed PAR using ppm, then the problem will most likely be as stated in http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=798793 . One solution would to be build PAR yourself from source (for which you'll need a compiler), or to find a ppm package for PAR that was built using the same version of perl as you have. Cheers, Rob

Re[2]: [rt.cpan.org #53555] The procedure entry point Perl_croak_xs_usage could not be located in the dynamic link library perl510.dll

Bonjour,

Thank you for this quick answer.

My perl installation is in proper order. The point you smartly noticed is a typo (sorry!).

I did install PAR using ppm, so I probably face the web referred problem.

So I understand that either:

1/ I downgrade to perl 5.10.0

2/ I compile PAR using 5.10.1

I'll probably choose (1) cause I may not be able (skill first then time) to fix the probably issues that (2) will lead me in.

Maybe a PAR ppm version using 5.10.1 will be available in some weeks, but this is up to you.

Fair enough.

Patrick.
