First, I'm using Strawberry and cpan, not ActiveState and ppm. And, the file is built, not extracted. Both the successful install and failed install perform the same compile:

dlltool --def DBI.def --output-exp dll.exp
g++ -o blib\arch\auto\DBI\DBI.xs.dll -Wl,--base-file -Wl,dll.base -mdl
+l -s -L"C:\STRAWB~1\perl\lib\CORE" -L"C:\STRAWB~1\c\lib" DBI.o   "C:\
+STRAWB~1\perl\lib\CORE\libperl520.a" -lmoldname -lkernel32 -luser32 -
+lgdi32 -lwinspool -lcomdlg32 -ladvapi32 -lshell32 -lole32 -loleaut32
