Problems setting up a 7.0 Server(perl primarily)

[jimbabwe]

Pretty quick question I guess. Is there a zoneperl.exe for 7.0 or is all that stuff now just contained in zone.exe? I'm having a problem with quests, and want to make sure it's not my install of perl

[kripsinkurehall]

If I remember correctly there hasn't been a need for perlzone.exe since 0.6.4. Are quests that come with a quest pack not working, for example the PEQ Quest pack on their site; or is it an issue with quests you are creating? If it's an issue with the PEQ Quest pack for example, it may be a perl installation issue. However, if it's an issue with quests that you create, it could be several small things. One easy mistake I've seen alot of people make (If it's a windows server), is write perl quests in wordpad instead of notepad or another ansii editor.

It's my installation of perl then. Not getting any response from mobs that use that PEQ quest pack. Maybe I'll try a different version of perl.

Thanks, that's exactly what I needed to know.

The wiki has the perl that I used which worked great for me.

ok, I tested my installation of perl against my 6.4 server and it worked perfectly. I then checked it against 7.0 and no deal. I went through the logs and found this.

it continues on for a while with those errors(basically every mob with a quest in that particular zone)

I'm running perl 5.8.2, if that happens to matter. Thanks for your continued support guys.

Just tried perl 5.8.4 as well. Does anyone know what that error means?

edit: I'd also tried it against perl 5.8.7 as well.

it looks like it was some sort of problem with my DB. I ended up using cavedude's installer and it works fine now.
