Perl Module not executing on Windows 2000

Hi,
This is regarding a perl module being called through a Perl Script.
The problem is recenlty the OS platform where the script was running
was changed from WINNT to Windows 2000 and the perl version 8.5.1 was
installed after that the script is executing without executing the Perl
Module. I have tried to extract the Perl Environment settings( Enclosed
Below) I just wanted to know what can be the points of investigation to
debug the problem as the script along with Perl module is executing
fine in older enivironment. Is it some system settings to be modified
or something els to be done. Please help me out :

You mean Perl 5.8.1. Perl 8 is a long ways off yet...

Could it be that the module is not a core module and you have not installed
it in the Win2k environment?

Since you don't provide any idea what the error is or waht the module is,
this is just a guess...

Hi Peter,

This is regarding a Perl Module namely : AdminMisc.pm used in our
application. In on of the Perl Script we make use of the AdminMisc.pm
to connect to a Domain Controller and gets some data from there.

Problem is :recenlty the OS platform where the script was running was
changed from WINNT to Windows 2000 and the perl version 8.5.1 was
installed after that the script is executing without executing the Perl
Module(AdminMisc.pm ). I have tried to extract the Perl Environment
settings( Enclosed Below) I just wanted to know what can be the points
of investigation to debug the problem as the script along with Perl
module is executing fine in older enivironment. Is it some system
settings to be modified or something else to be done. Any kind of an
update to this issue will be of great help. Lookin forward to your
advise.

I may be wrong, but I suspect that this page may be of help.

The most important info you can give us is the one-or-two line error message
that occurs when you run your script. (There's a good chance that's *all* we
need to see.) Without that there's too much guesswork involved.

I can guess that you're current Win32::AdminMisc was built for a version of
perl that's earlier than 5.8.0 - but without the error message, that's just
a stab in the dark.

Cheers,

Hi,

No error comes up when the perl script using this package executes only
thing is it exits from there . Here are some facts :

Perl Version : 5.8.1.807
Perl Code using the package :
use Win32::AdminMisc;
sub get_pdc
{
print "SUB : get_pdc";
($pdc = Win32::AdminMisc::GetPDC($domain)) or &logoff("Error : No
PDC for domain $domain found!\n");
}
