Here are the comments from the dynaloder.pm just above the line where it
tries to load the dll. It says that this is mostly due to the XS file
problem


    # Many dynamic extension loading problems will appear to come from
    # this section of code: XYZ failed at line 123 of DynaLoader.pm.
    # Often these errors are actually occurring in the initialisation
    # C code of the extension XS file. Perl reports the error as being
    # in this perl code simply because this was the last perl code
    # it executed.

##Line 206 from c:\perl\lib\DynaLoader.pm
    my $libref = dl_load_file($file, $module->dl_load_flags) or
	croak("Can't load '$file' for module $module: ".dl_error());
