Perl's dll load error messages can be misleading. Perl will complain 
that it can't load Xerces.dll although it is present, when a dependent 
DLL isn't found or won't load (e. g. when it was compiled with another C 
compiler). In your case I suspect you haven't set the location to 
xerces-c-2_3_0.dll in your system path. If it sits in "C:\perl\bin", 
just add "C:\perl\bin" to the "path" command in C:\autoexec.bat.

I run Perl with Win98 on one computer and it makes no difference.
