Re: BUG #5601: cannot create language plperl;

Thank's a lot

with Activestate 64 bit perl 5.10 it works.

It would be very desirable for plperl supporter to to add some plperl release notes with Postgresql
production release for users to know , with what PERL distribution it works.

Near as I can tell that means it cant find a .dll or it is incompatible.

If you are using the enterprisedb one click installer it looks like
you need to grab something that has perl510.dll (maybe activestate
5.10?) Just a guess, I dont have a windows machine here (or really
know anything about the windows build) I just downloaded the windows
.zip file and skimmed the contents of plperl.dll. Of course you are
always welcome to build your own postgresql if you need 5.12.
