Module loading error

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

Hi,
now that I installed XML::LibXML with libxml2 successfully on Windows
My problem is, that when I want to execute a Perl-Script
I get this error:

Can't load 'C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/XML/LibXML/Common/Common.dll' for mo
+dule XML::LibXML::Common: load_file: The specified module could not b
+e found at C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 230.
 at C:/Perl/site/lib/XML/LibXML.pm line 11
Compilation failed in require at C:/Perl/site/lib/XML/LibXML.pm line 1
+1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/Perl/site/lib/XML/LibXML.pm li
+ne 11.
[download]

even though I installed XML::LibXML::Common (automatically with XML::LibXML).
I don't understand, why he isn't able to load the file, even if that file (Common.dll) exists exactly in the given path
and the module is installed...!?
any help appreciated
Ashwani

As I already told you in the CB: ashwani: Download all files from here, and extract them into the directory where your `perl.exe` is. Have you done that? The most likely cause for this is that `Common.dll` depends on `libxml2` being properly installed, which I guess is not the case on your system.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

even though I installed XML::LibXML::Common (automatically with XML::LibXML) I must admit, I am skeptical of this. When I installed XML::LibXML, I was forced to install XML::LibXML::Common first, and as a separate step. Modules whose names are of the form `a::b::c` are not necessarily installed by default simply by installing `a::b`.
