Re^5: "MSVCR90.dll not found" Error Message

I'm going to look on the MS web site for the proper way to get this dll from the "\windows\winsxs" directory to where it should be.

You shouldn't need to do anything. You certainly shoudln't need to move a dll from there to somewhere else.

Which repository did you install DateTime from?

I just installed DateTime v0.53 from the AS repository and in a trivial test I get no errors:

C:\test>perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.9 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 12 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

And do you also get the dll problem if you try the minimum test above? If not, is it possible for you to isolate what is happening within your script when that problem occurs? One relatively painless way is to run your script with Devel::Trace. Eg. `perl -d:Trace yourscript`.
