Hi, I've just installed Strawberry Perl on a new Windows laptop, but I'm having problems running XML::LibXML. I've installed it using the Strawberry cpan client, it installs fine, but when I come to use it in a script, I get the message:

Can't load 'C:/Strawberry/perl/vendor/lib/auto/XML/LibXML/LibXML.xs.dll' for module XML::LibXML: load_file:The specified path is invalid at C:/Strawberry/perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 193. at C:/Strawberry/perl/vendor/lib/XML/LibXML.pm line 156.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/Strawberry/perl/vendor/lib/XML/LibXML.pm line 156.

I've checked my Path and environment variables and all seem fine. The dll file in the message exists and is in the location reported. Can anyone help?
