Perl 5.10 Error when building modules

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

I've just installed Perl 5.10 to check it out and I was trying to compile the IO::Socket::SSL module when I get this error after runing:

C:\mods\IO-Socket-SSL-1.13>perl Makefile.PL
[download]

This application has failed to start becasue MSVCR80.dll was not found
+.
[download]

I'm using VS 2005 on Vista SP1 Any thoughts what might be wrong?

I think your application failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Maybe you should download it? I see lots of links: MSVCR80.dll. -sam	[reply]

Rather than having multiple copies of the file kicking around, you'd be better adding the location of the dll to your `path`. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. "Too many [] have been sedated by an oppressive environment of political correctness and risk aversion."	[reply] [d/l]

Do you have Windows Defender Spyware protection installed? If so there could be a conflict with library files and may be worth uninstalling. Have you checked your Win32 directory to check if it is in fact missing.	[reply]
