Hi, I am trying to install an application on a new PC that uses POE::Component::Client::HTTP to get web pages in parallel. But I am having problems installing it. When it comes to the dependency mentioned in the Subject perl crashes several times during dmake test. It is not just a simple test failure but a Windows dialog box appears, saying that perl.exe has crashed.
A previous installation from 2009 works without any problems but since it is still on XP I thought it is time for an update. As a possible workaround I even tried to install the old versions from 2009. With them I didn't get crashes but test failures and hangs during dmake test. The current system I want to install it on is Windows 7 x64 with Strawberry Perl 5.16.3.1 32bit (but same result for 64 bit). It was much better with Perl 5.20.1 x64 (kept hanging in 50_bisbee_timeout.t) but since there are no mod_perl binaries for 5.20 yet, this is not an option for me. Because of other parts of my stack I am even bound to 32bit and for that 5.16 is the last one available (s. http://people.apache.org/~stevehay/) Any ideas how to get it installed? Of course I am willing to do any debugging that might help fixing the problems. Or are there any reliable alternatives I could use to load web pages in parallel within a cross platform application (Linux, Windows)? -Michael
