I double checked the ODBC and it is spelled correctly. The source itself says that it's on both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms, so I don't think that's the issue. Could be, but I don' think so. I checked the link you helpfully provided but it nets me with another error altogether. The code would look like this,

 my $dbh = DBI -> connect("Driver={SqlServer};SERVER=CND4290H26;Databa
+se=GameInfo;Trusted_Connection=Yes;") or die 
"Couldn't open database";

[download]

That gives me the error: Can't connect to data source because I can't work out what driver to use (It doesn't seem to contain a 'dbi:driver:' prefix and the DBI_DRIVER env var is not set) at script.pl line 11. When I put back the DBI:Driver, I get the same error I initially posted.
