in thread Strawberry Perl 64bit on Win7 crashes on DBI-function

Do DBI and DBD::ODBC work otherwise?

If DBI and/or DBD::ODBC also fail with other function calls, my guess is that you somehow mixed 32-bit and 64-bit DLLs from the old and the new installation.

Personally, I would look at avoiding ODBC datasources and instead use the appropriate connection string. Many of these connection strings can be found via http://connectionstrings.com.

    This bit my @driver_names = DBI->available_drivers; works for example.

    And the actual DB-connection and basically what the whole script is supposed to do works. Just this one function call from DBI-package crashes. And in such a strange way. Same thing happens on two different machines, although running basically the same software-setup.

    I'll have a look into that link.
