I keep getting the following error when I try and run an old script that was written prior to my starting here. It utilizes win32-odbc which I am not familiar with (I use dbi) the error is:

Can't load 'E:/Perl/lib/auto/Win32/ODBC/ODBC.dll' for module Win32::ODBC: load_file:The specified module could not be found at E:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 206.

Details of the problem:

I went from NT 4.0 (IIS 5.0) service pack 6 where everything was working fine to Windows 2000 Server Service pack 3 and the scripts broke. I have followed every troubleshooting advice for this error that I can find. The drives have all stayed the same with e: being the web drive, perl was pointed there when first installed.

I have done the following things to try and get it to work:

1) Installed win32-odbc twice to ensure it worked (all the files were already there from the original installation of perl 5.6 but I replaced them anyway)

2) I have made sure that all folders and subfolders have the correct permissions

3) I have checked the database itself and its permissions as well as add it as a file dsn and a system dsn.

4) I have tried to install win32-odbc from the ppm as well but it says no ppd file can be found.

5) I have set the repository to Roth Consulting and tried to search the repository but when I do that the search comes up with nothing

I am at a loss here as to what to do… Can anyone help?
