XSLoader can't load Storable.dll

louhevly has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Greetings oh wise ones:

I'm running the apache_1.3.41-win32-x86-src.msi on windows 10 using cygwin's Perl version v5.22.3. XSLoader and Storable are both up to date. My problem is that when I try to load Storable I get:

Can't load '/usr/home/louhevly/lib/perl5/5.22/x86_64-cygwin-threads/auto/Storable/Storable.dll' for module Storable: Permission denied at /usr/home/louhevly/lib/perl5/5.22/XSLoader.pm line 95.

The relevant part of my code is:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
BEGIN { open STDERR, ">/usr/home/louhevly/error.log" or die $!;
use lib '/usr/home/louhevly/lib/perl5/5.22';
use lib '/usr/home/louhevly/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.22';
use lib '/usr/home/louhevly/lib/perl5/5.22/x86_64-cygwin-threads';
}    
use strict;
use Data::Dumper;
use Storable;
[download]

Data/Dumper's .dll loads fine from the same directory and with the same permissions

user:/usr/home/louhevly/lib/perl5/5.22/x86_64-cygwin-threads/auto
$ ls -lR Data/ Storable/
Data/:
total 0
drwxr-xr-x+ 1 user Ninguno 0 Jan 25 08:03 Dumper/

Data/Dumper:
total 40
-rwxr-xr-x 1 user Ninguno 38419 Jan 15 13:54 Dumper.dll*

Storable/:
total 96
-rwxr-xr-x 1 user Ninguno 96275 Jan 15 13:55 Storable.dll*
[download]

I'm stumped (though I have a sneaking suspicion I'll be feeling like a pretty silly grasshopper when the light dawns). Thanks for listening.

You don't show the permissions of the two top-level directories themselves. I would suspect that there are bad permissions on the Storable/ direcory. What does this show: `ls -ld Data/ Storable/` [download] Dave.	[reply] [d/l]

Here you go: `user:/usr/home/louhevly/lib/perl5/5.22/x86_64-cygwin-threads/auto $ ls -ld Data/ Storable/ drwxr-xr-x 1 user Ninguno 0 Jan 25 08:03 Data// drwxr-xr-x 1 user Ninguno 0 Jan 25 08:03 Storable//` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Well those permissions look fine. Have you tried running the script directly from the command line, or is it being invoked by apache? Dave.	[reply]

As a debugging step you can run depends.exe if you run `perl.exe foo.pl` then the command you run is `depends.exe /c /f:1 /pb /ot:temp.txt perl.exe foo.pl` The most critical depends.exe output	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I downloaded depends.exe (http://www.dependencywalker.com/depends22_x86.zip) but it won't run from the command line (Win 10); it just hangs. The website says up to Win 8, so maybe it hasn't been developed for 10.	[reply]
