I can't really answer the question you've asked, but there is a Cairo ppm package at the sisyphusion repo ( http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppmindex.html ). The 5.8 package there was built using perl-5.8.9. This means that there's a possibility that it won't work with 5.8.9 - though I really don't know the likelihood of that being the case. (I fear it might produce exactly the same error with 5.8.8 and earlier, but you'd have to try it to be sure.) The Perl_hv_common symbol is to be found in the 5.8.9's perl58.dll, but I suspect it might be missing from 5.8.8's perl58.dll. (It's certainly missing from 5.8.0's perl58.dll.)
