While trying to test the build of Perl module XML::Parser, I get this:

 >The procedure entry point XML_GetSpecifiedAttributeCount could not be 
 >located in the dynamic library expat.dll

I am using a self-built Perl on Win2k, using VC++6.0 (details below). I 
tried both the pre-built version of the expat libs 
(expat_win32bin_1_95_2.exe from sourceforge) and I built them using the 
code that comes with the pre-built version.

I look at the expat code and in xmlparse.c I find this:

 >int XML_GetSpecifiedAttributeCount(XML_Parser parser)
 >{
 >  return nSpecifiedAtts;
?}

So, if it's in the code, does anyone have any ideas as to why it is 
apparently is not in the library? Given that these are C and not C++ 
files, there should be no name-mangling issues yes? What could I be 
doing to track down this problem?

Thank you
