Hi fellow members,

For the sake of updates/relaying news to members, STUCI Classic is another kind of Y to ICS emulator, just like YaY. For those already experienced with using STUCI Classics to play, knows Active Perl is a must-have requirement. We have traditionally used Perl version 8.8.822 x86 (the 32-bit). Well now, there is a new Perl version - Perl 8.8.825 x86 that is compatible with STUCI.

In fact, I've tried Perl 8.8.825 x86 in both Quad Core (64-bit) PCs of mine: AMD AND Intel and this new Perl 8.8.825 x86 worked well with both STUCI Classics and YaY-Perl 3.1.2

Observation 1:
In the AMD PC, after installing Perl 8.8.825, I went ahead and used it without the installation of the ppm install http"//theoryx5 etc..., SSLeay-Crypt and other modules and STUCI Classic and YaY-Perl works fines without problems so far.

Observation2:
In the Intel PC, after installing Perl 8.8.825, I went ahead with the download and installation of the SSLeay-Crypt etc and it worked fine (using the ppm install http://theoryx5 etc etc commands).

Deducting from these two cases, Perl 8.8.825 works fine with both STUCI Classics and YaY Perl and may have these modules without the installation of the "ppm install commands...", SSLeay-Crypts & SSLeay32.dll and other modules that Perl 8.8.822 lacks or needs through the "ppm installation commands" to get these modules.

Thanks Prima,

Is very good to know this. Perhaps this latest version of ActivePerl now includes both:
The Crypt:SSLeay and TK modules.

You're welcome matematiko. The Perl 8.8.825 does appear not to require the "ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/Crypt-SSLeay.ppd" installation commands for it to make Perl-ICS emulators work because my Perl-ICS emulators (STUCI & YaY) sure did work with or without the installation of the "ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/Crypt-SSLeay.ppd" commands.

By the way, have you tried this new Perl 8.8.825(x86) yet?

Best regards,
Prima.

Prima,

No I have not tried yet since everything is working fine for me at the moment....but in my next Vista installation I will defently try.

Cheers,

Corrections:

It should be ActivePerl 5.8.9.825

It is not perl and is not 8.8.825

Also, YaY version 3.1.2 is an old version and is not longer supported. That version was released in pure perl, while the latest version "3.2.1" was released in exe and ActivePerl is not needed at all, because everything is included in the executable.

Thanks,
