running programs built on win32 boxes on an x64 server

I have several programs that have been built over the years and run great on any 32 bit OS, but for some reason they do not work on our new Win2k3 x64 bit servers. It appears they partially run, but they are obviously not finishing. Is there any documentation, or tips, on getting perlapp programs to run under x64?

Thanks

Are you using PDK 6.x and the --dyndll option? In that case you are
most likely running into the following problem:

The issue has been fixed in PDK 7.0.

I am not certain if this is a PDK problem or a programming problem with
Perl. The scripts run perfect on all windows 2003 servers, except those
that are 64 bit. This bug sounds as if it would likely affect all
installation on windows 2003 server.
