Ok - alternatively it's only *2* files that need to be installed - 
Win32/EventLog.pm and auto/Win32/EventLog/EventLog.dll.
After you've manually built the module on your local machine, you'll find 
the former in blib/lib and the latter in blib/arch.
Assuming you're running the same version of perl across all systems, it's 
just a matter of installing those files into one of the @INC directories on 
all machines.
By convention, I think you'd install them into 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14 - so you'd end up with
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14/Win32/EventLog.pm
and
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14/auto/Win32/EventLog/EventLog.dll

If it's simple for you to effect that across the various systems, then you 
could go with that.

I'm sort of thinking it should already be there. I'm running perl-5.14.2 on 
Cygwin-1.7.17, so I figured I'd test for myself ... alas, I can't find a 
mirror that can provide setup.ini, and setup.exe aborts at that point.
So I guess we wait for someone who *knows* to come along.

Btw, it would really help if, in your testing, you'd try to load 
Win32::EventLog instead of Win32::Eventlog. In some situations it probably 
doesn't matter, but testing the loading of "Win32::Eventlog" introduces an 
(unnecessary) uncertainty with which it would be better to go without.
The thing is that, although Windows is not case-sensitive, perl is - and 
failing to attend to case-sensitivity can lead to strange failures.

Cheers,
Rob
