Can locate loadable module even though it's in the INC path

sonic has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm getting this error, yet Digest\MD5.pm exists at \xpsp2\tools\x86\perl\site\lib\Digest\MD5.pm.

My use statement looks like this:

use Digest::MD5;

Can't locate loadable object for module Digest::MD5 in @INC (@INC contains: f:\xpsp2\tools f:\xpsp2\tools\PostBuildScripts f: \xpsp2\tools\sp f:\xpsp2\tools\PostBuildScripts f:\xpsp2\tools f:\xpsp2\tools f:\xpsp2\tools f:\xpsp2\tools\PostBuildScripts f:\xpsp2\tools\sp f:\xpsp2\tools\x86\perl\site\lib f:\xpsp2\tools\x86\perl\lib f:/xpsp2/tools/x86/perl/lib f:/xpsp2/tools/x86/perl/site/lib .) at f:\xpsp2\tools\sp\PublishGoldFiles.cmd line 24

THanks for the help

A module is not a its loadable "object"

Basically you're missing MD5.dll (the loadable object) because you did not install your module correctly. Read A guide to install modules to learn how to properly install modules.

Maybe the module wasn't installed properly. How did you install it?
