Perl Tutorial in Komodo

I just down loaded the KomodoIDE trial. I really want to learn perl. I have ActivePerl 5.10.0 build 1001 installed on my system. I tried out the perl tutorial that's included in the program. I followed it to the T (even successfully installing The Text::CSV_XS Perl module using ppm. However, I am unable to build the tutorial project. I keep getting a compilation error. It keeps complaining about the 4th line of the parse.pl file:

use Text::CSV_XS;

The exact build error message is the following:

Can't load 'C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/Text/CSV_XS/CSV_XS.dll' for module Text::CSV_XS: load_file:The specified module could not be found at C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 203.
at C:\Documents and Settings\Lisedey\Application Data\ActiveState\KomodoIDE\4.2\samples\perl_tutorials\parse.pl line 4
Compilation failed in require at C:\Documents and Settings\Lisedey\Application Data\ActiveState\KomodoIDE\4.2\samples\perl_tutorials\parse.pl line 4.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:\Documents and Settings\Lisedey\Application Data\ActiveState\KomodoIDE\4.2\samples\perl_tutorials\parse.pl line 4.

I have spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out what is wrong, but haven't had any luck. Any suggestions on how to go about fixing this would be greatly appreciated.

What are the contents of that directory?

Here's what I see in my directory after doing the ppm install:

c:\Perl\site\lib\auto\Text\CSV_XS>dir

Here's what I have after doing a listing of the Directory

Looks like my CSV_XS.dll and CSV_XS.lib are smaller in size. Do you think that might have something to do with it? I have tried to install the module again but it says that I have no missing modules to install. Any suggestions...???

Which version of ActivePerl are you running?

And can you run the tutorial program from the command-line?
If not, it isn't going to run within Komodo.

I have ActivePerl 5.10.0 build 1001 installed on my system.

And No. I can't run the tutorial from the command line. I enter parse.pl from the command line and I get the following error message:

This application has failed to start because MSVCR71.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

I have tried reinstalling the program, however the same files still come up in the re-installed application. I think I am just going to move on and try different applications programming in perl. I was able to run some other examples ok. I just thought that the tutorial example was pretty cool. I appreciate you giving me a helping hand though.

Cheers,
