Dependency Walker (http://www.dependencywalker.com/) is a simple tool that 
shows you, for a given dll, all the dlls it depends on. And it happens to 
claim that API.dll depends on perl85.dll.

I chopped off the prefix, it's an absolute path which does specify an 
existing file.

I will investigate whether this has to do with access permissions as it 
seems this error message can occur as a result of that (in IIS), and will 
post back anything I find.

I can also infer from your mail that swish-e (including the c API) should 
run in Perl 5.6 or 5.8 regardless?

Not sure about that tool.  Maybe that ppm specifies 5.8 (if that's
possible), but I think we would have heard that by now.

Does .../Perl/lib/auto/SWISH/API/API.dll exist?  And is that a relative
path or did you chop of the prefix??

Try google for

   load_file:The specified module could not be found 

there's a number of posts saying it's because a file is missing.

It would be great if you post back about this so it's in the archive.
If you can, post back any methods or tools used (and how to use them)
to track problems like this down in Windows.  I'm of little help with it
comes to debugging problems in Windows.
