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.

ok .. 9 hours ago i started Creating my own EQ server using

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

***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.
