The error message says the perl512.dll not found. Not that is there and it can not use it.

I think you'll find that it's pretty much as choroba has said. If your Data/Dumper is from a perl-5.12 installation, then Dumper.dll won't load unless it finds perl512.dll.

If it can't find perl512.dll then you'll get the error message that you posted in the transcript in your first post, and you'll probably also get a pop-up that tells you that perl512.dll could not be found.

Re-installing Data-Dumper might fix the immediate problem, but if there's one module hanging around from a previous perl installation, then there's probably others.

Cheers,
Rob

• 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.
