Re: Win32 Perl-Critic Setup Question

Your Scalar::Util needs to be recompiled.

That's odd, cause the one I have with ActivePerl 5.8.0 and ActivePerl 5.8.8 works:

>c:\progs\perl580\bin\perl -e"use Scalar::Util qw( weaken ); weaken \$
+a"

>c:\progs\perl588\bin\perl -e"use Scalar::Util qw( weaken ); weaken \$
+a"

Hi Ikegami,

Many thx for the info.

When running the line you provided I get:

perl -e"use Scalar::Util qw( weaken ); weaken \$a"
Weak references are not implemented in the version of perl at -e line 1
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.

How do you advise to compile Scalar::Util? I'm not so familiar with this.

Many thanks!

Hi,

Just did the compile procedure with "Scalars::Utils":
- perl Makefile.PL
- make
- make test
....t\dualvar.......skipped
....all skipped: dualvar requires XS version
....t\first.........ok
....2/17 skipped: Poor man's MULTICALL can't cope
....t\isvstring.....skipped
....all skipped: isvstring requires XS version
....t\proto.........skipped
....all skipped: set_prototype requires XS version
....2/23 skipped: Poor man's MULTICALL can't cope
....t\weak..........skipped
....all skipped: weaken requires XS version
....All tests successful, 4 tests and 4 subtests skipped.
....Files=35, Tests=331, 3 wallclock secs ( 0.00 cusr + 0.00 csys = 0.00 CPU)

- make install
However afterwards the error remains.

How should I tackle this?

Thx!
