This morning I updated some XML modules. When I upgraded XML::Parser I
got the following warning as part of the activity log.

Upgrade package 'XML-Parser'? (y/N): y

PPM then opened a console window and requested permision to save
win32_expat.dll in the Perl\bin directory.
This win32_expat.dll is older (by filedate) than
%PERLDIR%\site\lib\auto\XML\Parser\Expat\Expat.dll.
Could someone please explain what happened? and can I safely delete
win32_expat.dll now that the instance of PPM/Perl that performed the
upgrade has completed, or must I keep it forever?
(ActiveState Perl v5.6.1.633, PPM v2.1.6)
