I re-installed DateTime from the ActiveState repository using ppm install DateTime --force but unfortunately I still get the error message

So ... you probably have now installed a version of DateTime that has no dependency on MSVCR90.dll - from which we deduce that the error message is coming from some *other* module that DateTime loads (and which was, presumably, built using VC9). Are there no other error messages (in the cmd console, for instance) that provide additional information ?

If you want to continue going down the 'ppm install' path, I think you need to identify the module(s) that's causing the problem, and then 'ppm install' it with '--force'.

You can test various modules by running (eg) perl -MList::MoreUtils -e 1
If List::MoreUtils were the culprit, that would be enough to generate the error. Or, in a script, simply use List::MoreUtils; would be sufficient (iff List::MoreUtils were the culprit).

Cheers,
Rob
