[Module::Build] Cannot forceunlink C:\Perl\site\lib\auto\Compress\Zlib\Zlib.dll: Permission denied at C:/Perl/lib/File/Find.pm line 906

[Ron S. <ro...@sa...>]

Hi Folks

I've been investigating this problem.

I get such an error with Compress::Zlib, Params::Validate and Time::HiRes.

Here's what I've found, under Win2K:

o If Apache+mod_perl is not installed (i.e. as a Windows service), I do not=
 get 
this error.

o If Apache+mod_perl is installed but the service is not started, I do not=
 get 
this error

o If the service is started, I get this error

What complicates the issue is that Apache, or perhaps Windows, is=
 inconsistent 
about whether or not it is installed. Here's a log of a few attempts to play=
 
with this:
