Hello, I am trying to get the Z39.50 ZOOM module to work, but I am running into some difficulties. I am using a basic "Hello World" script to test the functionality of the module but it is producing the following errors.

First, a popup comes up that says "The procedure entry point _ZOOM_connection_error_x@16 could not be located in the dynamic link library yaz.dll". Then, the command line shows the following error:

Can't load 'C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/Net/Z3950/ZOOM/ZOOM.dll' for module 
+Net::Z3950::ZOOM: load_file:The specified procedure could not be foun
+d at C:/Perl/site/lib/XSLoader.pm line 64.at C:/Perl/site/lib/Net/Z39
+50/ZOOM.pm line 12
Compilation failed in require at C:/Perl/site/lib/ZOOM.pm line 6.

Here is the script that I am running:

use ZOOM;
$conn = new ZOOM::Connection('z3950.loc.gov', 7090,
                   databaseName => "Voyager",
                   preferredRecordSyntax => "USMARC");
$rs = $conn->search_pqf('@attr 1=7 0253333490');

$rec = $rs->record(0);
print $rec->render();

I installed the YAZ toolkit, as well as placed the YAZ bin directory in the system PATH environment variable and rebooted. I cannot for the life of me figure this thing out. From what I can find on google, there is a misconfiguration of a dll. Any help would be appreciated!

I am using ActivePerl on Windows XP Pro.
