I'm experiencing exactly the same error message as Alex.  I had a 
similar error message when trying to use XML::Parser with the Expat 
library.  In that case, placing the Expat DLLs in the 
site\lib\auto\XML\Parser\Expat directory fixed the problem.

This time around, the xerces-c-2_3_0.dll doesn't seem to work from 
either perl\bin or site\lib\auto\XML\Xerces.  I don't *believe* the 
problem is likely to be related to Xerces.dll.

I am using IndigoPerl 2003 (Perl 5.8) for all of this.  Also, could the 
fact that I am running Windows 98SE have something to do with it?

Any more ideas would be most helpful!

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.
