I was researching a response to an recent node and found a snippet in the perldocs for Win32::NetResource. Out of curiosity I tried running the snippet but it doesn't compile and I'm not sure why or what (if anything) can be done to fix it. This was cut/pasted straight from the perldocs: 
#
# This example displays all the share points in the entire
# visible part of the network.
#

use strict;
use Win32::NetResource qw(:DEFAULT GetSharedResources GetError);
my $resources = [];
unless(GetSharedResources($resources, RESOURCETYPE_ANY)) {
    my $err = undef;
    GetError($err);
    warn Win32::FormatMessage($err);
}

foreach my $href (@$resources) {
    next if ($$href{DisplayType} != RESOURCEDISPLAYTYPE_SHARE);
    print "-----\n";
    foreach( keys %$href){
        print "$_: $href->{$_}\n";
    }
}

When I try to run it, I get the following error messages: 
Can't load 'C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/Win32/NetResource/NetResource.dll' f

Above the trouble spot in DynaLoader.pm, are the following comments: 
# Many dynamic extension loading problems will appear to come from
# this section of code: XYZ failed at line 123 of DynaLoader.pm.
# Often these errors are actually occurring in the initialisation
# C code of the extension XS file. Perl reports the error as being
# in this perl code simply because this was the last perl code
# it executed.

I have verified that 'C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/Win32/NetResource/NetResource.dll' exists. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
