I gather this is the error you get when you attempt to use the module.
It happens because, although DateTime.pm can be found, the compiled part of
the module (the dll - which is the "loadable object") cannot be found. This,
in turn, indicates that the build/install procedure did not work or was
performed incorrectly.

Assuming that the 'perl Makefile.PL' step proceeded without error, what was
the output of the 'nmake' , 'nmake test' and 'nmake install' steps.

Cheers,
