I have Perl installed on a Windows NT4.0 server, and every time Perl.exe is
executed, the error 'The procedure entrypoint RunPerl could not be located
in the
dynamic link library Perl56.dll'. This totally prevents Perl from running on
that
computer, and I was wondering if this is a known problem, or if there's
something
I should be doing.

Thanks

ps. The info below is from Perl installed on my desktop PC, not the server,
so it's
probably not relevant. It is the same version though.

Looking at
http​://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;142606, you have
a Perl compiled on Win95/98 running on NT 4.0. This is an old, old
ticket, but if not yet solved, it could be by reinstalling a newer Perl.
