If you have a need to build SAP::Rfc for Perl (and this can be probably made to work for Ruby, and Python too), then this is for you. Olivier Boudry, who has been faithfully maintaining win32 PPM build for me, has given comprehensive instructions on how-to build with the "free" Visual Studio version called VS Express 2005.

This can be found at: How-to build SAP::Rfc on Windows using Visual Studio Express 2005


Many thanks Olivier.

Whenever I run reg.pl (in your examples ), I always get error as follows, accept() can't loop:

==================================================

I've tried different versions of SAP::Rfc, including the latest 1.41, the return is always the same. I googled the error and found no valuable search results, so that I have to beg you for help.

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Hi James,

Have you checked what port your gateway is listening on?

Also - have you checked the entry in SM59.

Cheers.
