perl.exe stopped working while hitting the xalan*.dll in perl 5.12

smita has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

hi All, I have a simple script which uses Xalan-c_1_11.dll for XML document. the script works fine with perl 5.10 (it throws the error for the missing XSLT key in perl 5.10, which is expected in 5.12 as well, but it exit perl.) but on perl 5.12.2 it exit and throws the error " Perl.exe has stopped working". i tried all possible ways to capture the error and signals, but nothing worked so far. Xalan is being 3rd party tool, and works fine with perl 5.10, is it perl interpreter issue? how can i capture the error or how can i stop it from abrupt perl.exe exit? Please suggest something. Can not share the perl code as its not possible.

Try this. (Ie. Turning off Data Execution Protection for perl executable.) With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". I knew I was on the right track :) In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

hi, Thanks a lot for the reply. i tried it, but didn't work, as i get the message- This program must run with DEP enabled. You can not turn it off.	[reply]
