Perl library not working on WampServer

I'm developing a website for a university project, using WampServer and Perl.

Some details:

  • Using Windows Vista
  • Latest Strawberry Perl installed on C:\Strawberry\perl\bin\perl
  • Wamp 2.5 32 bit installed on C:\wamp

I followed all the Apache httpd.conf instruction to enable .cgi and .pl scripts.

The basic Perl script named printenv.pl is working:

#!perl

use strict;
use warnings;

print "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n\n";

foreach my $var ( sort( keys(%ENV) ) ) {

    my $val = $ENV{$var};

    $val =~ s|\n|\\n|g;
    $val =~ s|"|\\"|g;

    print "${var}=\"${val}\"\n";
}

Whenever I try to use my libraries on my scripts with use XML::LibXML the resulting website page gives 500 internal server error.

I have XML:LibXML up to date on CPAN, and I tried with a few other libraries too.

This is the Apache error log:

I've looked for a solution for at least 10 hours now, but I really can't find any

Solution

  • You seem to be looking at two different perl installations. You don't have XML::LibXML installed on the server
