I installed ActivePerl 5.8.9. The install didn't create a library, so I copied my old library I had from 5.6.

Some scripts worked and some required Win32.dll upgrade, so I did: ppm upgrade

During the upgrade, I saw several upgrade messages including: "Win32 0.39 (have 0.38)"

Before upgrade I had this error message:

Thu Apr 30 20:40:24 2009 error Can't load 'C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/Win32/Win32 .dll' for module Win32: load_file:The specified module could not be found at C:/ Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 226.\n at C:/Perl/lib/Cwd.pm line 692\nCompilation f ailed in require at C:/Perl/lib/Cwd.pm line 692.\nBEGIN failed--compilation abor ted.\n

In reality I can see "C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/Win32/Win32.dll" file. It is right there, dated 6/17/2002

After upgrade the error message is different:

Thu Apr 30 21:04:56 2009 error Win32 version 0.27 required--this is only ver sion 0.191 at C:/Perl/lib/Cwd.pm line 692.\nBEGIN failed--compilation aborted.\n

Neither Win32.dll nor anything in the C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/Win32 directory have been changed.

I checked the date on Cwd.pm - it is dated 10/30/2008.

Any advice?

Thank you, Jeff
