What version of ActivePerl is supported?

May

I've uploaded build 59 to the ftp and web sites.

(59) Fixed a problem with delayed loading of Perl510.dll

I'm sorry -- but what version of ActiveState Perl does TCC support? The help for "Perl support" in my installed Take Command v10.00.59 says:

The version supported by TCC is Active State Perl 5.8 (free from www.activestate.com).

I have ActivePerl 5.8.9.825 installed:

Code:
> perl --version
This is perl, v5.8.9 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 9 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

Copyright 1987-2008, Larry Wall

Binary build 825 [288577] provided by ActiveState http://www.ActiveState.com
Built Dec 14 2008 21:07:41

and @PERL produces the following:

Code:
> echo %@perl[print "Hello World";]
TCC: (Sys) DLL not found: perl510.dll
print "Hello World";

Well I can't find perl510.dll either

Code:
> find c:\perl\perl*.dll
C:\perl\bin\perl58.dll
C:\perl\bin\PerlEx30.dll
C:\perl\bin\PerlEz.dll
C:\perl\bin\perlis.dll
C:\perl\bin\PerlMsg.dll
C:\perl\bin\PerlSE.dll

so I'm wondering if I've missed the boat and should have installed (or upgraded) to ActivePerl 5.10.0 in spite of what the help says? :o

Thanks

In my case it's even weirder:

D:\>echo %@perl[1+1]
TCC: (Sys) DLL not found: perl510.dll
1+1

D:\>which perl510.dll
perl510.dll is an external : D:\Usr\Perl\Bin\perl510.dll

D:\>perl --version

This is perl, v5.10.0 built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread
(with 5 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

E.g. perl510.dll is in my PATH, as is perl.exe, but it still says it
can't find it. :)

5.10 - we had a lot of requests to update it from 5.8, and the Perl
developers have made it essentially impossible to support multiple versions
of embedded Perl.

I will update the docs to the current version.

Thanks for the reply. I have removed ActivePerl 5.8 and installed 5.10:

Code:
> perl --version

However, I must have done something wrong because I prefer the way TCC worked (not) with 5.8! :)
Now
Code:
> echo %@perl[print "Hello World";]
brings a TCC 'popup' that says:
TCC has encountered a problem and needs to close. We
are sorry for the inconvenience.
and an associated Error signature
AppName: tcc.exe AppVer: 10.0.0.59 ModName: ntdll.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.5512 Offset: 0001b1fa
I sure hope that your expertise can put me straight. Thanks

Ah of course, you're right, this is to be expected; it's the 64-bit version of Perl:
