[Screenshots] New perl installation

[Fridgecritter]

Ok, a lot of people have been complaining because the guide has an old version of perl to install, and they either cannot find it, or they don't want to use the old version. A lot of us are using the new version, and it works fine. I will show you how to install the components you need, as the name of one of them has changed since the GUI style PPM has been implemented.

First you install Perl... go through the motions and when it's done, open a command prompt. From the command prompt you type "ppm". It looks like this:



Then the GUI for perl PPM will open. Make sure you click the button that says "show all packages" to start with. Then we can start selecting packages to install. These are the three packages that need to be installed. One of them (DBI) is already installed by default in the new revision. Just be sure it is installed. I have included a screenshot of all three components.







After you click the "install selected" button, it will download and install them, and when you click the "show installed components" on the top file menu, it will show the components you just installed. You can close the PPM, and you are done. Hope that helps.

for latest (5.10 version) to use you need to modify files:

EQEmu-0.7.0-1070\SOURCE\world\EQWParser.cpp(35): #pragma comment(lib, "perl58.lib")
EQEmu-0.7.0-1070\SOURCE\zone\embperl.cpp(26): #pragma comment(lib, "perl58.lib")

replace "perl58.lib" to "perl510.lib"
