I looked briefly into the patch that activestate provide against the vanilla perl source, it seems that the that AS perl build 817 and 816 doesn't export the function "PL_memory_wrap". However the "PL_memory_wrap" thingie isn't mentioned in the patch for AS 815. So I decided to dowgrade to AS 815. The steps I have done to get it working was: 1. AS perl build 816 installed, try to install as much as possible, tried to install the packages Module::ScanDeps, PAR::Dist, Parse::Binary, and Win32::Exe from ppm (if available). 2. downgrade to AS perl build 815, install in the same directory as before, c:\perl 3. cpan PAR::Packer It doesn't fix the original problem, but it lets me create an archive, which was the far most important thing. regards Håkan
