I try to connect to Oracle through cygwin, but it fails.
The Oracle version 11.2 is installed on a Windows 2003 server.
Cygwin and Perl is installed on the same server. 

cygwin>uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.2 N0871 1.7.9(0.237/5/3) 2011-03-29 10:10 i686 Cygwin

cygwin>perl -v
This is perl, v5.10.1 (*) built for i686-cygwin-thread-multi-64int

[download]
The Perl @INC variable contains the current directory ('.')
There is a DBI.pm module installed.
I cd to the directory with the DBI.pm and do: 
cygwin>perl -e 'use DBI;'
Can't load './auto/DBI/DBI.dll' for module DBI: <br>
No such file or directory at
at DBI.pm line 263
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at DBI.pm line 263.
Compilation failed in require at -e line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.

But there is a DBI.dll installed at ./auto/DBI.
Does this mean there is an installation problem or what?
The DBI.pm is preinstalled and I can't change it (e.g. reinstall).
