Обсуждение: plperl.dll error from create langauge plperl (XP Pro 64 bit)

All,<br /> I am building an XP Pro 64 bit system, where I have installed the latest PostgreSQL binary distribution
(8.2.5-1).Everything loaded fine, I have postgres up and running as a service, installed ActiveTcl and ActivePerl,
enabledPostGIS, etc. I can do the CREATE LANGUAGE 'pgtcl' successfully, but I get the following error when I try to
CREATELANGUAGE 'plperl'<br /><br /> ERROR: could not load library "C:/Program Files
(x86)/PostgreSQL/8.2/lib/plperl.dll":%1 is not a valid Win32 application.<br /><br /> Has anyone encountered this error
withthe binary install in question, or has anyone attempted on XP Pro 64 bit? If this is a 32 vs 64 bit issue, our plan
isto eventually run on a 32 bit version, but 64 bit is all I currently have access to.<br /><br /> Thanks,<br /> Doug

It's almost certainly a 32 vs 64 bit issue. Do you have the 32bit or 
64bit perl installed?

We have not got support for 64-bit binaries on Windows yet.

Hi Andrew,<br /> The ActivePerl is 64 bit. Funny how it didn't affect the ActiveTcl and pltcl load. Everything else
seemsto work fine, just loading the perl lib.<br /><br /> Doug<br /> On Fri, 2007-11-09 at 15:35 -0500, Andrew Dunstan

That's your problem right there. ActiveTcl isn't available 64-bit last I
checked, that's why that one works.

32-bit binaries work just fine on xp x64, but you need 32-bit perl.
