Hard to say, Date::Calc works fine for me, builds with
no errors and passes all the tests.  I would guess that
something went wrong when building the Calc.dll.  Does
your 'blib/arch/auto/Date/Calc/Calc.dll' seem corrupt?
Try something like 'objdump -x' or 'cygcheck' on it to see
if it is ok.

The other thing that it might be is that to successfully
dlopen a DLL all the dependent DLLs must also be found
(which may depend on your PATH).  But, in this case the only
dependencies are cygwin1.dll, libperl5_6_1.dll and kernel32.dll.
