This issue just will not die.

I have recently moved to a server that is under the same architecture as my intranet server (Intel) and we are both running the same version and builds of ActiveState Perl (5.6.1 Build 629).

I do not have any way (telnet, SSH, shell) of installing modules to the host machine and the host provider will not install *additional* modules not included in the standard distributions of Perl.

I have installed (via PPM) the various modules that I need on my intranet box (XP/Apache/ASPerl) and all is well there. I was hoping that I could simply u/l my entire (yes the whole thing) /perl/site/lib folder to my host provider and simple reference the modules in my scripts with 'use ./lib'. While this seems to *almost work*, I am seeing the following error message concerning the DBI.DLL: 

Can't load './lib/auto/DBI/DBI.dll' for module DBI: load_file:The spec
+ified module could not be found at d:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 206
+. 
at lib/DBI.pm line 236

[download]

The DLL file exists in the location so I am wondering if the problem is something else. Please help me. Any guesses at this point would be welcome as I'm at the end of my wits. I wrote a custom content management system that I dearly love and would hate to have to start from scratch without DBI.
