This kind of "oh, it used to work, but it doesn't any more" question is different.

I would assume that something changed and we don't know what.What does your %path% environment variable say?

Did you upgrade Perl in the meantime?

It is possible to "re-initialize" your system. Of course a full back-up is mandatory before you try this!!!...

see "ppm help" for ppm profile save and ppm profile restore.

This generates an XML file that can be fed into ppm to re-install your modules. Make a profile, Uninstall Perl,reboot, reinstall Perl, use ppm to run this saved profile. DANGER: Depending upon the Perl upgrade history of your machine, this may cause some trouble!

However, at this point, I'm thinking that something has gone wrong in the path rather than some fundamental flaw in the installation. I mean you have runnable code outside of the .exe so something about your installation is right!
