Fellow Monks,
I have some scripts that work fine on my linux box, they access a sybase database using DBD::Sybase. A great module to install and use on linux. However I have to move my scripts over to some windows webspace (before you ask...I don't understand why really either). These boxes uses activestate perl. I tried using the cpan module to install DBD::Sybase, but had little joy. Then I found crazyinsomniacs repository and succesfully installed it using the ppm from that repository. However when I try to view my scripts I get the following error message:

If anybody could give me any pointers as to whats going wrong here I would greatly appreciate it. Any clues as to how to get this stuff to work for windows?
Thanks in advance,
