That is a strange result - it suggests that some of the configuration information in your Perl installation has some values probably set from the machine where it was built, and hence don't necessarily match your system. That may be contributing to the problem. What happens when you run:

  C:\> set PERL_DL_DEBUG=1
  C:\> perl -MXML::LibXML -e "print 1"
[download]

Also, what happens if you place libxml2.dll in the same subdirectory as Common.dll, which is used by XML::LibXML::Common?

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
