Subject: Win32 modules crash over the network


Folks, I seem to be having difficulties loading any Win32 module, when Perl 
is executed from a remote server. I basically copied a working local Perl 
installation to a server, so it can be run from any machine.

Other modules load fine, but Win32 modules seem to crash. The client PCs are 
XP running SP3.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

===========================================

Do you get any meaningful error messages anywhere ?

Of the non-Win32 modules that you've tried loading, have they all been 
pure-perl ? If so, try loading an extension  - eg Devel::Peek (which uses 
XSLoader) and Digest::SHA (which uses DynaLoader).

Can't really think of any reason that Win32 modules should be the only ones 
affected. Perhaps they all rely on some  particular Windows dll(s) that none 
of the other modules need, and that there's some problem relating to the 
"particular Windows dll(s)" .... but nothing specific comes to mind.

Cheers,
Rob
