I went back and re-installed DBI and the problem appears to be originating there. I also have another system which should be the same setup where I am already using DBI and DBD::ODBC with no issue. I've gone back and compare versions and even run the DBI install on that box as well. Makefiles and compiler options look the same. Here is where I see the first differene during the install:

...

On the machine that doesn't have any problems, I get this "Error: Can't find 'boot_DBI', nor the Bareword warnings. The tests run successfully.
