Perlscript when running MUSHclient under Wine on Linux

Hello all,

Hopefully this is the most appriopriate section for this. I was wondering if anyone has been able to enable perlscripting when using Wine. Hopefully so and can point me in the right direction as to specifically which DLL files are needed. I don't have any windows install availble to grab files from either but if I have the right filename I think I can find a copy of it.

Just as a heads up to other Wine users or people wanting to try MUSH with Wine. The very latest version of Wine (20050419) won't run MUSHclient, you will need a version or two before that (I'm using 20050310).

Thanks in Advance,
Perry

The script uses the ActiveState versions of the perl, which are windows-only derivatives. However, I believe they have zip files in addition to the MSIs on their site.

Thanks for the reply, I have kinda tried that already.

I have downloaded ActivePerl-5.8.6.811-MSWin32-x86-122208.zip from activestate and placed the following files into my "Program Files\MUSHclient" Directory :

./Perl/bin/PerlMsg.dll
./Perl/bin/PerlSE.dll
./Perl/bin/PerlEz.dll
./Perl/bin/PerlIS.dll
./Perl/bin/perl58.dll

This doesn't work still so I'm looking for anyone who has this going and can provide me with the specific name of the .DLL file they are using.

There are other DLL files in the zip file but they seem to coresspond to perl modules.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated also, maybe I should try an older version of perl perhap ?

Thanks again,
Perry
