hello,
Using Perl 5.8.1
Win2k sp4
I tried to build Text-CHM using VS6, sp5.
Homepage for the module is here
http://digilander.libero.it/bash/text-chm/
I get fatal errors. I have emailed the author
my error log.
I managed to build pychm in the same env., which
also is based on CHMLIB.
Anyone succeeded, or knows another way to read the
CHM central directory with Perl?
regards,
tlviewer

If you post those fatal errors here, someone might be able to offer some
advice regarding them.
Cheers,
Rob

You can find Text::CHM in my ppm repository:
http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppmdir.html
for Perl5.6 and Perl5.8
You can install it with the command
ppm install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Text-CHM.ppd
in a DOS console.

hello again,
Your PPD did the trick--thanks.
One of the first CHM files I tried it on had a corrupted #STRINGS file,
leading to a Dr. Watson. What I didn't realize was that this module
doesn't correctly give you the central directory, but instead, dumps
the #STRINGS file. This is not the ideal way.
Any CHM that has a valid #STRINGS will work fine. However, the one CHM
virus that I tried to open had the corrupted variety.
thanks again for the PPD and VC patches,
tlviewer

-----------------------------------
The module builds ok with mingw-built perl. I could send you a ppm if you
want - it should also work fine with your perl.
Cheers,
Rob
