Hi,
I'm trying to install Cache::Memory via cpan client on strawberry perl 5.10 on Windows XP. the make works fine but when I do a 'make install' I get a pop up that says 'unable to find component libdb43.dll'. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Rather unusual for a 'make install' to cause such an error. (This type of error is more likely to occur at the 'make test' stage, when you're actually running the distro that you've just built.)
I've just installed Cache-2.04 on Strawberry 5.10 without any such problem (though I can't find a libdb43.dll on my machine).
The only problems I did strike were a couple of hanging tests (in the File-NFSLock-1.20 and Cache-2.04 test suites) which had to be killed - but I'm on Vista, and the same problem might well not arise on XP.
Cheers,

I'm pretty sure that file is for accessing BerkeleyDB files, DB_File is apparently a prerequisite for the Cache suite. Odd that it wouldn't be setup correctly by Strawberry during install. What happens if you type the following?
perl -MDB_File -e 1
