The Windows PPM build system was moved to a new box earlier this year, and it looks like all builds on that machine have been done with the wrong compiler. :( We have removed all packages containing DLLs with references to MSVCR71 from the PPM repository for now and are running a rebuild. This may take a few days, but later this week everything should be back to normal. I'll probably post a script later that will search a Perl tree for modules with references to MSVCR71, so you can uninstall and reinstall them if you want to. Note that the modules will work fine as is, as long as you have MSVCR71.dll on your machine. They needlessly load 2 copies of the C runtime library though, and will also have MSVCR71 as a dependency if you want to include them in a PerlApp/Perl2Exe/PAR application, so it will be nicer to have all modules reference MSVCRT.dll only. Sorry for the inconvenience!
