Hello,

I'm having some trouble with perl on windows
I've just tried to run a program that uses Data::Dumper
and it gets me the error.
This application has failed to start because Perl56.dll was not found.Re-installing the application may fix this problem. I'm running activestate perl 5.8.8 here.
I have never experienced this problem before installing oracle(I've seen on several
mailing lists other people have encountered the same problem).
Also perl compiler gives a weird message :
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c perl "C:\/tst.pl "
Can't load 'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Db_1\perl\5.6.1\lib\MSWin32-x86/a

umper/Dumper.dll' for module Data::Dumper: load_file:The specified mod

Hit any key to close this window...

on one of the mailing lists I've seen they recommend to do
@set PERL5LIB= <- where should I run this ?

thanks
