Hi I am using perl 64 bit on Windows 7. My scripts are unable to find the modules referenced and failing.

perl version
This is perl, v5.10.1 built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread
(with 2 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)


Ex.
use Net::MySQL ; # this package won't give any error
use DBD::mysql; # this package gives the below error
Can't locate loadable object for module DBD::mysql in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl64/site/lib C:/Perl64/lib .) at -e line 0 Compilation failed in require. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

I am not trying to use both modules at same time. Also both module are installed in a same directory c:\Perl64\lib .
I am also not suspecting any file permission issues.
I tried to add the lib folder to @INC explicitly but no help.

In addition, below command at command promt works!
perldoc DBD::mysql
but perl -MDBD::mysql -e 1 fails with same above error
Many modules are failing with same error while very few succeed. Any help/pointers on this is very appreciated.
