it does run from the C drive, but I get the error message when I try to run it from a network drive

I've no experience with running from a network drive - which is probably the reason that I've never seen that "specified path is invalid .." error message before.
Could it be that 'C:/Strawberry/perl/vendor/lib/auto/XML/LibXML/LibXML.xs.dll' is an invalid path specification (as the error message states) when running from a network drive ?
Hopefully someone with better knowledge of running from a network drive can provide something a bit more definite.

(An incorrect UPDATE removed.)

One other (probably unrelated) thing to note is that your error message relates to the XML::LibXML that's installed in perl/vendor/lib.
That's the XML::LibXML that shipped with Strawberry Perl - it's not the XML::LibXML that you installed. (The one you installed should be in perl/site/lib.)
Normally, perl/site/lib comes before perl/vendor/lib in @INC, which means that in a normal situation the XML::LibXML in perl/site/lib is the one that would get loaded.
But your perl5lib changed the @INC order, putting perl/vendor/lib ahead of perl/site/lib and thus ensuring that the XML::LibXML in perl/vendor/lib is the one that gets loaded.
