Perl_newsxs_flags could not be located in perl58.dll
 

I have grown pretty tired giving out the link explaining to people how to correct the above error. So, one last time here is the link: http://www.peqtgc.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=5264

Please search, guys.

Anyone know the fix for this? Projecteq.net is down and having the information here would be helpful.

That link is broken it seems

Assuming you already have some version of Perl 5.8 installed, here is a link to the file you need.

Put it in either your a) Windows\System32 or b) Perl\bin folder, overwriting where prompted.

http://home.comcast.net/~molimo140/eqemu/perl58.dll

I just did what I found here:

and I no longer get the error. Apparently the rebooting did the trick.

I should mention I used PPM to install DBI and OI-Stringy only. I could not find DBD-MySql or DBIx-MySqlSequence.

Yes, that is the most complete way to fix the error.

The issue lies in the fact that the perl interpreter (perl58.dll in this case) does not have that entry point in the version of perl that people are instructed to download through the setup guide on the wiki.

The 822 revision has the entry point, and so uninstall/reinstalling does the trick.

http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...ka=ws992mysql5
and
http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...kka=ws1129r222

as a guide

i get everything done error free all the way to the point of running the Start.bat

SO. I run it 1 window pops up , And then the error listed above jumps out at me. No big deal i thought. Uninstalled perl removed ALL perll related files from my pc,(I even re-downloaded it) Restarted PC, installed it, Restarted PC Logged into Windows

Start > run > ppm
Install DBI
(pressed enter)
(finished)
Install DBD-mysql
(pressed enter)
(finished)
Install IO-stringy
(pressed enter)
(finished) then i click the [X] to close the window

Restarted PC
Logged Into windows
Used the Start.bat Shortcut and got the error. AGAIN. . SO . Made a backup of the perl58.dll put it in its own folder Downloaded the 1 listed above extracted it into c:\prell\bin ,Restarted PC and Still Pops up SO i thought ok and Extracted it into the Windows\System32 file. Restarted PC.
and Still Pops up .Did I miss something ??

I use perl 5.8.7.813
Downloaded from
http://downloads.activestate.com/Act...l/Windows/5.8/

***FIXED***

Uninstalled ALL Perl files,Restarted PC, Downloaded 5.8.8.822.MSI and not the ZIp and Ran the Install.Re-Restarted PC then installed the DBI, DBD-MySQL and IO-Stringy and works fine now (just cant get World.exe to run now.)
GL to those who have this Issue I waisted ALOT of time on a Seemingly EZ error.

I am unable to get world.exe to work after following these instructions, either.

I got this error yesterday, I just upgraded my perl to this version:

ActivePerl-5.8.9.825-MSWin32-x86-288577'

and all my problems went away, server booted fine.

This worked for me as well!

Make sure you uninstall any other perl version ... delete the old perl dir and then search and delete any perl58.dll files found.
Reboot your computer, then install 5.8.9.825 ver. ... reboot computer again after installation, then use PPM in dosshell to install DBI and IO-Stringy only.

No problems after that. :smile:

I also found a place where you can get the DBD-MySQL at if needed:
**NOTE - this was copied from a readme file included DBD-MySQL downloadable file from Active State**

Hope this helps someone if you need it.

Windows/ActivePerl

1.) If you need to use an HTTP Proxy, set the environment
variable http_proxy, for example like this:

set http_proxy=http://myproxy.com:8080/

2.) The actual installation is as simple as

ppm install DBI
ppm install DBD::mysql

As of this writing, the above procedure won't work with
ActivePerl 5.8.0, because so far a PPM for DBD::mysql is
not available from the ActiveState server. I don't know
why. However, Randy Kobes has kindly donated a PPM package
to his own repository. You can use this as follows:

ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/DBD-mysql.ppd

I have just upgraded to 460 and I am now getting a error
Perl_hv_common_key_len could not be located in the dynamic link library perl58.dll
and I have ActivePerl 5.10.0 Build 1001 and Perl58.dll in the windows system dir.

anyone know why?

Nm I just downloaded Ver 473 and it back to working ...
