Can't locate Win32/DirSize.pm in @INC

gepebril69 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi there

When I try to run a run a sample srcript with Win32:Dirsize call I get the error: Can't locate Win32/DirSize.pm in @INC

I use: Windows 2008- 64 bits and Perl 5.20.1.1-32bit

I did run cmd as administrator and used the commands

cpan
install Win32::DirSize
[download]

Output:

cpan> install Win32::DirSize.pm
Running install for module 'Win32::DirSize'
  ARICH/Win32-DirSize-1.13.tar.gz
  Has already been unwrapped into directory C:\STRAWB~1\cpan\build\Win
+32-DirSize-1.13-UTo9oV

  ARICH/Win32-DirSize-1.13.tar.gz
  Has already been tested successfully
  ARICH/Win32-DirSize-1.13.tar.gz

Code used

use strict;  
use Win32::DirSize;
 
my $Result = dir_size(
  "C:\\TEMP",
  my $DirInfo, # this stores the directory information
);
[download]

What seems to be the problem?
