Hi.
I have installed activeperl 5.10. It works with pg8.4, but not with
9.1rc1 (win32 installer).
Do this version need perl 5.12?

Odd, the source code only requires Perl 5.8. Not sure why win32 would
need a later version. What error are you seeing?

The win32 packages require whatever version of Perl they were built
against, AFAIK. Perl DLLs are only binary compatible within a major
version, and I think the DLL naming changes too.

I thought the required version of Perl was mentioned by the installer or
post-install notes somewhere, but can't immediately find the info.

Oh, yes, that is right and isn't tested very well at runtime, as far as
I remember.

Looks like 9.1 binaries are linked with perl 5.14.
Thanks for answers
