The Perl converter tries to build the name of a new converter from the Perl code that the converter uses.
Under some circumstances (too long?, has strange characters in the code?) the Converter crashes without displaying the dialog box for the new name.
A work-around is to create a new entry with some simple Perl code, e.g.,
$strOut=$strIn; It will ask you for the name:
and you can enter the name that reflects the proper function.
Once the converter has been created with a proper name, you can modify it with the code that would otherwise cause a crash.
Here is some sample Perl code that causes it to crash when it is used to create the new converter:
$strInOut = u2txt($strInOut);
sub u2txt{
my ($txtstring) = @_;
return $txtstring if $txtstring !~ m/U\+/;
my $vstring = "";
my @num = split (/U\+/, $txtstring);
for my $n (@num) {
next if !$n; #skip first null
$vstring = $vstring . chr(hex($n));
}
return $vstring;
}
Here is the crash dialog box followed by the text in the Details box.
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
