Hi Perl Monks, After un-installing all publicly installed instances of Active and Strawberry perl (I left POPFile alone), I installed Active perl 5.10.1. Most everything on this Win/XP box runs just fine including Apache2.2 with mod_perl (using perl510.dll). Also working just fine is POPFile with it's local copy of perl58. What I am having an issue with, is a simple compile. Here is the code:

 use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Basename;
use File::Find;
use Getopt::Long;
use Log::Dispatch;
use Log::Dispatch::Handle;
[download]

When go to compile this code, the perl interpreter opens a dialog box and complains that it cannot find perl58.dll. It is the last line of the source code which triggers the perl interpreter error. I used PPM with perl 5.10 repositories and installed Log::Dispatch 0.27, 0.26 and 0.20 and all three version fail perl compilation the same way. I checked that my Win/XP environment did not have anything funky in it. I even uninstalled parrot just to eliminate that possibility. Thanks
