Does anyone recognise the subject library? I'm try to build modules compatible with AS1004 x64 Perl and getting the following error:

LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'bufferoverflowU.li
+b'
[download]

It's being added to the link command because it appears in the perl config:

C:\>perl -V:libs
libs=' oldnames.lib kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib  
comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib  netapi32
+.lib 
uuid.lib ws2_32.lib mpr.lib winmm.lib  version.lib odbc32.lib odbccp32
+.lib 
bufferoverflowU.lib msvcrt.lib';
[download]

But it doesn't appear in anywhere in the perl installation:

C:\>attrib /s Perl64\buffer*
A    R       C:\Perl64\lib\Archive\Zip\BufferedFileHandle.pm
[download]

Nor anywhere in the compiler distribution:

C:\>attrib /s "Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows"\B*.lib
A            C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Lib\IA64\bcr
+ypt.lib
A            C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Lib\IA64\bhs
+upp.lib
A            C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Lib\IA64\Bit
+s.Lib
A            C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Lib\x64\bcry
+pt.lib
A            C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Lib\x64\bhsu
+pp.lib
A            C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Lib\x64\Bits
+.Lib
A            C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Lib\x64\bthp
+rops.lib
A            C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Lib\bcrypt.l
+ib
A            C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Lib\bhsupp.l
+ib
A            C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Lib\Bits.Lib
A            C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Lib\bthprops
+.lib

So the question is who forgot to package it: MS | AS | P5P? (

And where can I lay my hands on a copy in the meantime?)

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

"Too many [] have been sedated by an oppressive environment of political correctness and risk aversion."

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
