Hi Matt,
With these changes applied to the source, then it's just a matter of running
through the normal compile process. If you'd still rather have one ready-made,
then let me know which version of Strawberry perl and Remedy you're using and I
can put something together for you.
Regards,
Glyn

Well done Glyn,
Any chance I can get hold of the compiled modules?
In addition, a patch (or description of which lines you changed, etc, to make
it work on Windows) would be awesome!

What you describe would be beyond me!
Thanks
Matt…

Subject: [Arsperl-users] ARSPerl 1.93 fix for crash with Windows 7 and 2008
Just wanted to report a fix I found for an issue I was having with ARSperl
running on Windows 7 and 2008.
I compiled the module using Strawberry Perl with the 7.6.4 version of the
Remedy API, and found that test scripts would run as expected on Windows XP or
2003, but that perl would crash on Windows 7 or 2008 reporting an issue with
ntdll.dll. I tried different versions of the Remedy API, but hit the same
problem.
The crash would occur when trying to use the ars_setEntry function, but would
only occur when using string fields, not numerical fields.
Looking through the source, I tracked down the issue to the sv_to_ARValue, and
specifically the use of strdup. It seems that some functionality has changed in
Windows somewhere that means when strdup is allocating memory, it's not
creating it on general heap? That's all I can assume, as when the code hit the
call to FreeARFieldValueList, that's when the crash would actually occur.
The workaround has been to update the supportrev.h and supportrev.c files to
ensure that the arsperl_strdup function is available when compiling on Windows,
not just when compiling on Windows with a non-GNU C compiler. As the
arsperl_strdup function then replaces strdup, this fixed the problem, and
scripts using ars_SetEntry (ars_CreateEntry and ars_MergeEntry would be
affected too by the looks of it) now work correctly on all version of Windows
that I've been able to test on.
Just wanted to pass this on in case it will help others who hit the same
problem!
