JendaRex and Perl 5.10
Axtens
I've been trying unsuccessfully to re-compile JendaRex.pm, using the
latest PDK (7.1) and the latest Perl (5.10).
Everything seems to compile okay, whether I use PerlCtrl as is, or
with Jenda's own PDKcompile, and the resulting DLL seems to register
okay with RegSvr32.
After that, nothing works. This VBScript code
Set re = CreateObject("Jenda.Rex")
gives me
Microsoft VBScript runtime error: ActiveX component can't
create object: 'Jenda.Rex'
I get a similar report from VB.
Has anyone got any idea why? I tried giving it a new GUID but to no
avail. Is it that I'm doomed to comb through perldelta for some change
in Perl syntax?
Please, anyone, help!
Kind regards,
Bruce.

I don't think it's a change in Perl syntax. I think it's again the
problem with the Win32::Registry. Namely that you do not have the
patch that I submitted several years ago and was told it will become
the new official release again several years ago. Either install the
patch from http://jenda.krynicky.cz/#Win32::Registry2 or replace
$SystemEncoding = 'cp' .
(Win32::Registry::GetValue('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSe
t\Control\NLS\CodePage', 'ACP') || '1252');
by
{
my $r;
$::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-
>Open('SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NLS\CodePage', $r)
or die "Can't open
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\NLS\\CodePage:
$^E\n";
$r->GetValue('ACP', $SystemEncoding);
$SystemEncoding = '1252' unless $SystemEncoding;
$SystemEncoding = 'cp' . $SystemEncoding;
}
near the top of the JendaRex.pm
