VIM broken by upgrade to Perl 5.30

VIM broken by upgrade to Perl 5.30

[Sommrey, Joerg (Allianz Deutschland)]

Hi,

vim needs to be recompiled for Perl 5.30. The perl interface is no longer working:
Calling:
:perl VIM::Msg(“Hi”)

Results in:

E370: Could not load library cygperl5_26.dll
Sorry, this command is disabled: the Perl library could not be loaded.

Kind regards,
Jörg Sommrey

Add:
    set perldll=/usr/bin/perl5_30.dll
to your .vimrc file.

Hi Kevin,

thanks for the hint, but this does not work.
After setting perldll to perl5_30.dll I get:

if_perl.c: loadable library and perl binaries are mismatched (got handshake key 0x8800080, needed 0x9680080)

And then vim dies...

Jörg

Appears that doesn't work on Windows, Cygwin or otherwise, as per
if_perl.txt:

"The name of the DLL must match the Perl version Vim was compiled with.
Currently the name is "perl512.dll".  That is for Perl 5.12.  To know
for sure edit "gvim.exe" and search for "perl\d*.dll\c"

Sure enough, the binary still has references to 5.26 baked in.

Regards,
Oliver
