*What is the recommended version and distribution of Perl for Windows
systems running ASSP v2?*
*I'm sorry to ask this question as I've asked a couple times over the last
couple of months. Please excuse the repetition, but this is a critical
question that those of us stuck on Windows need to know the answer to. *
Specifically, I'm having trouble with the Win32::Unicode module.
Activestate doesn't make 5.16 available anymore. Win32::Unicode in
assp.mod only seems to have 5.12 and 5.14 versions.
There's a post back in May from Thomas talking about Strawberry 5.20 and
all of the modules, but the zip file is no longer on SF.
Here's what i'm trying with ActiveState Perl 5.20. ASSP 15025
I downloaded Win32::Unicode (0.38). I unziped/untarred
perl MakeFile.pl
dmake && dmake test (as the readme says) Got warnings
dmake install (installed anyway as per a recent post @ the forums
saying to force install anyway).
I've made sure that the win32 folder has been copied to c:\perl\site\lib
I get a unicode.dll put in c:\perl\site\lib\auto\Win32\Unicode
When ASSP runs at console, I get the message:
*Win32::Unicode module is not installed - unable to write unicode filenames
to OS.*
Now, to test, I wrote this silly script:
require Win32::Unicode;
print "win32:: unicode version: ";
print eval('Win32::Unicode->VERSION');
And sure enough, it shows "win32::unicode version: 0.38". (good)
I think the problem is that the section of assp.pl that calculates
$CanUseWin32Unicode is coming back with a null value, not 1 (or even 0) but
I don't know why it would do that. Maybe something in that huge eval is
failing, so $CanuseWin32Unicode doesn't get set at all?
I think I have all of the other modules working (BerkeleyDB not installed
yet).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
