Perl.exe has stopped working Error

Asked By poatbel4o 0 points N/A Posted on - 12/23/2011

I am getting an error: “perl.exe has stopped working” when I attempt to modify mySQL 3 tar source code. 

I tried to organize and compile the perl-5.14.1 installation from mingw32_nt-6.1.

This runs on Windows 7 without errors.

How can I fix this error on perl?

Can I send an attachment with image file that is 400KB in size? Help please.

Perl.exe has stopped working Error

I have determined that this is actually caused by running the script on a different drive from the executable file.

Both the script and executable app need to be in same driver.

Another thing would be that the %PATH% has stopped

Working as expected. Please consider the likely event that a virus could also have interfered with perl processes.

For Vista users, I propose that you should make sure that all the windows updates are installed.

Hope this helps someone

The dependency walker can also be a useful tool. If you use this to open up the perl executable file then

would highlight the path of depended file that causes error. To get started with dependency walker,

just visit http://www.dependencywalker.com/. This will finally help you so you know what other machines say.



The libeay32.dll is also a major problem. Simply go to start>Run for win XP or Start >Search box for win 7 and

enter "libeay32.dll". The file could be missing or not referenced in the system.



If worse comes to worse, then you simply need to re-install the perl program



I think you can try these procedures and incase you still have a problem, then simply just attach the image in your post for us to see. Make sure you don't post security critical info



Hope this helps someone
