I am running Strawberry Perl 5.24 on Windows 10. I installed module "Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX". The module installed with no errors. When I "use" the module, the following error message is displayed:

Can't load 'D:/perl/vendor/lib/auto/XML/Parser/Expat/Expat.xs.dll' for
+ module XML::Parser::Expat
load_file:The specified module could not be found at D:/perl/lib/DynaL
+oader.pm line 193.
  at D:/perl/vendor/lib/XML/Parser.pm line 18.

The error is definitely occurring in 'D:/perl/vendor/lib/XML/Parser.pm
+' line 18, which has "require XML::Parser::Expat;" in a BEGIN block. 
+Running perl -MXML::Parser::Expat -e 0 produces the same error messag
+e.

I double-checked module "XML::Parser::Expat" by running cpan install on it, and it says the module is up to date.
The path and file 'D:/perl/vendor/lib/auto/XML/Parser/Expat/Expat.xs.dll' exist, so it's not clear why the above error message is displayed.

Any suggestions are much appreciated.

• 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).
