Re: BUG #6204: Using plperl functions generate crash

I'm running into the same issue.  I can "create language plperl;"
successfully, but as soon as I try to create a function (as shown above),
Postgres dies.

Guimaraes - did you find a solution using standard installers?
sachin - have you tried on win7?
pasman - what's the process to install from source?

More detail on my setup...

I'm on Win7.

Postgres 9.1 32-bit:
http://www.enterprisedb.com/products/pgdownload.do#windows (version 9.1.2-1)

Perl 5.14 32-bit, I've tried both:
http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePerl/releases/5.14.2.1402/ActivePerl-5.14.2.1402-MSWin32-x86-295342.msi
http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePerl/releases/5.14.1.1401/ActivePerl-5.14.1.1401-MSWin32-x86-294969.msi

Here's what I see in the log file:

2011-12-21 08:10:49 PST LOG:  server process (PID 7296) was terminated by
