I recently installed the Archive-Zip module version 1.30 on a Windows computer through PPM.
Something went wrong somewhere because now every one of my scripts that 'use Archive::Zip;' now crash with an error that states "Perl Command Line Interpreter has stopped working".

Perl crashes when I run a simple 'perl -e "use Archive::Zip;"' or even 'perl -c SCRIPT_THAT_USES_ARCHIVE::ZIP.pl'

I am at a bit of a loss as to what I should do next.
