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

I installed xml::libxml using ppm. If i try to execute a perl script which uses this package, I get an error saying

The procedure entry point xmlGenericErrorContext could not be located in dynamic link library libxml2.dll

I tried googling the error, it says the problem may be with the version mismatch. Is it so? Which version of libxml2.dll should I install? please give me the link where I can get it.
Thanks in advance
Nalina

    Yes

    Whichever is required by your copy of XML::LibXML (which should've come with it). You can find out by examining site/lib/auto/XML/LibXML.dll with Dependency Walker.

    If you visit randy's repository, he has everything you need.

    I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

        Then you have more than one. So either delete it, or make sure the correct one is in %PATH% first.
