  Same boat, running Perl 5.30

Hi Peter,
I am hoping you might be able to do the same for me. I've moved my tools to a new server that has Perl5-5.36. I see from this support that the issue of the stack back trace may be the version of perl.

I have chartdirector working just fine on my other server using Perl5-5.30.

Here is what I have re my system that is working with perl5-5.30. Below that I show the  perl5-5.36 configuration.

I may be able to have both versions of perl running on the new server and then have Chartdirector point to the older version. Would Chartdirector configuration allow for that?

perl5-5.30

Hi Martin,

Yes, you can have multiple versions of Perl on your machine, and use the Perl 5.30 for ChartDirector scripts. We do it all the time when testing ChartDirector.
