Обсуждение: Plperl, createlang fails

Env WinNt, latest cygwin, postgresql 7.3.1
I am trying to get the procedural language plperl up and running on a new
installation.
This new installation was, well a mistake. I allowed cygwin to install all
the packages it could and it overwrote the
previous 7.2.x. The docs tell me the following should work, but:

$ createlang plperl template1
ERROR:  Load of file /usr/lib/postgresql/plperl.dll failed: dlopen: Win32
error 126
ERROR:  Load of file /usr/lib/postgresql/plperl.dll failed: dlopen: Win32
error 126
createlang: language installation failed

Can anybody shed some light.
TIA

David,

Please read the README:

    http://www.tishler.net/jason/software/postgresql/postgresql-7.3.1.README

Specifically, the following:

    The following packages or later are required to build and/or execute
    Cygwin PostgreSQL:

    [snip]
    perl 5.8.0-1

I presume that you are running perl 5.6.1-2.  If so, then rerun Cygwin's
setup.exe and install perl 5.8.0-1.

Really?  Did you miss...

the following?

    /usr/doc/Cygwin/postgresql-7.3.1.README

It does:

    ftp://ftp.nas.nasa.gov/mirrors/cygwin.com/pub/cygwin/release/perl/perl-5.8.0-1.tar.bz2

Note that Perl 5.8.0-1 is marked test, so you will have to click on the
"spin icon" until this version is selected.

Any Cygwin mirror should work.
