It has been reported by one other person recently, but we have not been able 
to reproduce it.

However it looks like there were some bogus files in the package: it should 
not have contained Win32::Lsa.3pm at all. We have rebuilt the 5.6 and 5.8 
packages and uploaded them.

Please try again and let me know how you get on.

Cheers.
