" Trying to "use Win32::Eventlog;" will not work - though I don't think
that's the error you're up against here."
=> yes, it will work (this is my current workaround):
$ export PERL5LIB=/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10/i686-cygwin/
$ perl -MWin32::Eventlog -e print
$
Well ... which perl are you using here - 5.10 or 5.14 ?
If you're using 5.14 then either:
1) The Win32::EventLog that's in
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10/i686-cygwin/ was built for perl-5.14; or
2) The Win32::EventLog that you're loading is in some place other than
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10/i686-cygwin/; or
3) The Win32::Eventlog that you're loading is not the
http://search.cpan.org/~jdb/Win32-EventLog-0.077 that I'm assuming it is; or
4) Your persistence in not attending to the case-sensitivity of the module's
name is doing something of which I'm unaware.
" Win32::EventLog is not part of libwin32 - so installing libwin32 won't
help."
Yes, I think, Eventlog is part of libwin32.
I stand corrected on that.
a) Mv /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10/i686-cygwin/ out of the way
b) re-install perl/libwin32
c) => freshly installed /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10/i686-cygwin/ with
Eventlog available.
So, in summary, I think: perl/libwin32 is not freshly built againt perl
5.14... that's my problem.
That sounds a distinct possibility.
So ... assuming you want it for perl-5.14, try installing Win32::EventLog
using either the 'cpan -i' command or the manual method (both of which were
outlined in my earlier post). Just make sure that the perl you use when
you're doing that is the one that you want.
I've just tried the "manual method", and it worked fine for me. (Note that
you run 'perl Makefile.PL' and not the fat-fingered 'perl Maskefile.PL' that
I presented earlier.)
It's quite likely that 'cpan -i Bundle::libwin32' will also work if you want
to install the whole lot of libwin32 - though there's no reason that you
can't install *just* Win32::EvenLog if that's all you need.
Cheers,
Rob
