Hi Thilo, Thanks for the first part. I spend most of the day downloading, installing and learning VC++. Together with your post, I was able to successfully compile a new ARS.dll
Without the manifest it gave an error just like you said about the MSVCR90.dll With the manifest, ARS.dll no longer gave errors for Perl. It made a connection and requested records from ARS. So far so good. But then came the ars_SetEntry call...and crashed Perl again. Result in the Event Viewer: -------------------------------------- Faulting application perl.exe, version 5.8.8.822, time stamp 0x46aff16f, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 6.0.6000.16386, time stamp 0x4549bdc9, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x00061a56, process id 0x1e2c, application start time 0x01c89be99cfa3d79. -------------------------------------- The new ARS.dll still struggles with the new Vista ntdll.dll New suggestions are welcome. I have no idea why or when the ntdll.dll is used.

Maybe someone else who's reading this has any Vista experiences??? If you want to try compiling ARSperl yourself, you can download the Visual C++ Express compiler (and the Platform SDK) from Microsoft (for free) at http://www.microsoft.com/express/vc/ Here's a posting I wrote to the ARSlist about compiling with Visual C++ Express: http://groups.google.com/group/arslist/browse_thread/thread/b04aa9e60312 0836/841113051f281fef?lnk=gst&q=arsperl+visual+express#841113051f281fef Regarding your question about replying: In my opinion posting to the list is almost always preferred, because - the more people read it, the higher is the probabibility that someone might be able to help. - people can search the list archive, which might help those who encounter similar problems.
