Failure in Bytecode.pm with package B-C-1.55

[jameysiddiqui]

Can't locate object method "ix" via package "0" (perhaps you forgot to load "0"?) at C:/perl/vendor/lib/B/Bytecode.pm line 1017.
Please provide any inputs

[rurban]

I'm sorry, but I need your inputs. Which perl - V exactly, which testscript, does it work with the latest compiler version.

[jameysiddiqui]

Hi Rurban,
Thanks for reply
We were having legacy product using 5.8.2 version of perl in which Bytecode.pm was available in
'perl\lib\B' folder, recently upgraded to 5.28 version of perl for that installed B-C-1.55 package for Bytecode.pm.
I have command as follows "C:\perl\bin\perlcc.bat -o show_env.cgi -B show_env.ipl".
This was working but new version seems to have cause the issue mentioned.
Sorry I cannot provide the perl script because of copyright issues, Any inputs will be helpful.

I see. I think you need to install B::C 1.57 then, the latest version.

Oops, I forgot. Perl 5.22 broke bytecide compiler completely. You can only use cperl then, which has this fixed. p5p refuses to fix several compiler bugs for years.

[jameysiddiqui]

Is there any alternative to Bytecode.pm, any other package which can do similar if installed.

Hi Rurban,
I installed perl 5.30.1, I executed the below command
C:\perl\bin>C:\perl\bin\perlcc.bat -o test.cgi -B file.ipl

still landed in below error:
Can't locate object method "ix" via package "0" (perhaps you forgot to load "0"?) at C:/perl/vendor/lib/B/Bytecode.pm line 1017.
CHECK failed--call queue aborted.

These are contents of file.ipl
#*************************
use strict;
use warnings;

print("Hello World\n");
#*************************

I was expecting this to pass and generate CGI file.

As I said, perl 5.22 broke the bytecode compiler. You can only use cperl or any perl before 5.22.
