I do not have an answer. Only comments that may be of help
My perl58.dll is in c:\perl\bin and I see yours is being looked for in your
temp directory. Hmmm. I think I see something. It looks like a pound
sign is being used as a path delimiter instead of a back slash.
That is,
C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp
is the normal Administrator Temp dir, but the file
C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp#par_priv.3388.tmp\perl58.dll
does not make sense to me. Is there a coding problem somewhere?
