Thanks for the info re perl5lib, but I only added that in an attempt to fix this problem, so I don't think it's the root.

Yes, on further reflection I agree - it's altering which XML::LibXML gets loaded, but that should be all.

Looking at the msdn documentation for that error it says: 
be sure to separate directories from subdirectories with a backslash

Forward slashes are usually fine with perl but I wonder if they're messing things up over the network drive.
Admittedly, one would think if that's the case then it would surely have come up before now.

And we don't even know which path it is that's invalid.
All we know is that 'C:/Strawberry/perl/vendor/lib/auto/XML/LibXML/LibXML.xs.dll' can't be loaded.

You have checked that both the "vendor" and "site" installations of XML::LibXML are similarly affected ?

I'm out of straws ...

Cheers,
Rob
