However, when I try to link this I get an "unresolved external symbol" error regarding PerlIO_isutf8(). This is declared in "perlio.h" (hence the compiler was happy), but listing the symbols exported by my "perl58.lib" I don't see it (hence the linker is unhappy).
Which OS are you doing this on? Is it one (such as AIX or Windows) that needs an explicit list of functions to export from a library?
Do I ned to rebuild my Perl library differently? I built it myself from ActivePerl 806 sources, but disabling the threading options and large file support, and enabling Perl's malloc. I've pasted my "perl -V" here in case that's of any use.
added to embed.fnc to export PerlIO_isutf8(), then make regen_headers run
before remaking, but I'm not sure. I've cross posted to p5p - hopefully
someone will know there. Not exporting PerlIO_isutf8 sounds like a bug that
needs that needs fixing for 5.8.1
Most of the PerlIO_Xxxx() are handled as a group in makedef.pl
i.e. is my "possible PATCH" (http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2003-07/msg01096.html) correct or not? (Vadim Konovalov believes it is correct -- http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2003-07/msg01101.html).
If it is correct then will it be applied in time for perl-5.8.1 as Nicholas Clark suggested?
