Hello Rob,
Thanks for the verification. I will redo the tests and see if the
problem persists. Damn.

Subject: Packaging using PAR creates error
Hi all,
I use PAR to create the executable Perl files. Most of the time it
works. But when using the threads library, it seems to fail.
I tried to compile the simplest code that replicates this error:
use strict;
use warnings;
use threads;
print "Hello world!";
The error is:
'The procedure entry point Perl_save_bool could not be located in the
dynamic link library perl58.dll'
Have tried both 5.8.6 and 5.8.7 without success.
Appreciate any help in this matter. Thanks.
I can't reproduce that error. Your script works fine for me, both as a perl
script and a PAR-built executable, on perl 5.8.7 and PAR-0.90 (also
PAR-0.89). I have a number of 5.8.* builds of perl, and in all of them,
'Perl_save_bool' is exported by the perl58.dll. I can only assume that
there's some problem with your PAR installation ... unless there's some
problem with the way you built the executable - which is unlikely. (Just
build with 'pp -o hello.exe hello.pl'.)
If you're using perl 5.8.7 and don't have the facility to build PAR
yourself, try installing the PAR-587 (version 0.90) ppm from
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/ . Then rebuild the executable and see if
the problem has gone away.
Cheers,
Rob
