Windows – Strawberry Perl libeay32_.dll problem

amazon-web-servicesperlwindows

I've installed Strawberry Perl (v5.12.3) on Windows Server 2008 32 bit and I was hoping to run simpledb CLI tools.

I had a small issue with HOME environment variable, I renamed it to HOMEPATH to solve the problem, but when I tried to run I got:

This application has failed to start because libeay32_.dll was not
found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Anyone knows how to solve the problem? Is it an issue of Strawberry Perl?

I've corrected the problem by removing perl path statements in the windows environment variables. They were at the beginning of the string from an old install. The strawberry install added it's own path statements at the end. This allowed the new strawberry intall to search the paths in the correct order.
