I have a simple test program ran on Windows Server 2003 R2: 
use Net::DNS;

print Net::DNS->version, "\n";

[download]
I got 2 same pop-up windows:

"This application has failed to start because perl58.dll was not found. re-installing the application may fix this problem."

It printed out "0.66"(version) after I clicked "OK" button on the error message window.

The perl version installed is ActivePerl 5.12.1. Why does it ask for perl58.dll? I tried to put perl58.dll under perl lib folder. It just crashed. I tried reinstall ActivePerl and didn't fix that problem.

I can run this program on the other computer(Windows Server 2003, ActivePerl 5.12.1) without error message.

Is it possible to disable pop-up error message window so the program can run without interruption? (I found it called C:\Perl\site\lib\Carp.pmc after it failed to find perl58.dll in all possible folders)

Thanks for any help!
