Another Perl related problem

[tibor]

Hi

First I want to thank everyone that has been involved with this project as I have just learned of it and love being able to potentially play EQ the way it was originally intended.

But I have come to a roadblock while creating my own server where tibor = God. I initially came across an older guide about setting up a server that was using Perl 5.7.8.813 (I could be wrong about that). Well everything is going well until I create the .bat file to start things up. I get the message about "Perl_newsxs_flags could not be located in perl58.dll". Ok, no prob...a little research says this version needs to be upgraded to 5.8.8.822. So, then I uninstall Perl and the C:\Perl folder to completely take it off my system. Now that I have the correct version (and the location of the updated guide), I cross my fingers and execute the .bat again. Now I am receiving the error "The procedure entry point Perl_hv_common_key_len could not be located in the dynamic link library perl58.dll". Researching this on the web suggests that Perl_hv_common_key_len was introduced in Perl 5.10.

Soooo, for shits and giggles, I install 5.10. and the error is the original error I had from not having .822. This is all specifically happening in the World.exe file and Zone.exe. Any idea what I have done wrong here? Searching the forums suggests that I have done something to mess it up since nobody seems to have this issue. I have even cleared everything from my machine and started from scratch only to receive the same error. Any help would so greatly be appreciated.

Thanks
