I'm writing a CGI script on Win32 that needs to borrow a module from a different installation of Perl. The module I need (XML::XPath) is on a network drive, so I'm using code like this: 
use lib "\\\\otherbox\\path\\to\\site\\lib";
use XML::XPath;
use XML::XPath::XMLParser;

[download]
This sort-of works -- it sees XPath.pm, apparently. But I get another not found error: 
Can't load '\\otherbox\path\to\site\lib/auto/XML/Parser/Expat/Expat.dl
+l' for module XML::Parser::Expat: load_file:The specified module coul
+d not be found at C:\path\to/DynaLoader.pm line 229.
 at \\otherbox\path\to\site\lib/XML/Parser.pm line 14

[download]
I've changed the paths, but kept the varying slash directions. I've verified that Expat.dll exists at the location it's trying (if all the slashes are going the same way). Am I doing the 'use lib' part wrong for a network drive?

A fair fight is a sign of poor planning.
