I have tried to install several Perl moduels on my machine

I have tried to install several Perl moduels on my machine (it runs Win98). I'm using Activeperl, v5.6.0 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread, and I have downloaded several modules from ActiveState.

I have tried to install these packages using 'PPM install' and by hand. Each time the install succeeds, but when I run a perl program to test the install, I get a message that a library file is not available. I thought that the problem might be with the particular madule I was trying to install so I tried it with a couple of others and got similar messages.

One of the modules I am trying to install is DB_File. After installing, when I run a test program I get the following message:

Can't load 'C:/Perl/lib/auto/DB_File/DB_File.dll' for module DB_File


The files DB_File.dll, DB_File.lib, DB_File.bs, and DB_File.exp all exist in the given directory.

Has anyone run across a problem like this before and how did you fix it?
