OK, guys I am having issues with the DBD::Sybase module. I'm running Strawberry Perl on WinXP, Perl version 5.10.1. I have a program (written by someone else) which requires the DBD::Sybase module. Got that installed (using CPAN), no apparent problems. But when I try to run the program I get the error:

Can't locate DBD/Sybase.pm in @INC (@INC contains: . db /glory/mu/tool
+s/lib C:/strawberry/perl/lib C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib C:\strawberr
+y\perl\vendor\lib .) at dbUpdate.pl line 17.

A quick google search leads me here: What to do when Perl modules aren't in their normal locations. A quick search of my machine finds Sybase.pm in 2 directories: C:\strawberry\cpan\build\DBD-Sybase-1.10-xUBkiW and C:\strawberry\cpan\build\DBD-Sybase-1.10-xUBkiW\blib\lib\DBD. So I add these 3 lines to dbUpdate.pl:

use lib 'C:\strawberry\cpan\build';
use lib 'C:\strawberry\cpan\build\DBD-Sybase-1.10-xUBkiW\blib\lib';
# So Perl can find the DBD::Sybase module

Now I get a different error:

Can't locate loadable object for module DBD::Sybase in @INC (@INC cont
+ains: C:\strawberry\cpan\build\DBD-Sybase-1.10-xUBkiW\blib\lib C:\str

I really don't know what, exactly, it wants, or where to go from here. Help, please?

Here's the actual code: (or rather, the start of it)

#!/gendat2/proj/bin/perl
#{insert 10 lines of comments here}

use strict;         # Restrict unsafe constructs.
use lib 'C:\strawberry\cpan\build';
use lib 'C:\strawberry\cpan\build\DBD-Sybase-1.10-xUBkiW\blib\lib';
            # So Perl can find the DBD::Sybase module
use Getopt::Long;   # Command line option parser.
use oasisLib;       # Common functions.
use DBI;            # Database interface.
use DBD::Sybase;    # Sybase-specific module.
use Data::Dumper;   # Dumps perl data structures.
use FileHandle;     # File I/O support.
use Symbol;         # Support for using variables as variable names. U
+ber cool.
use Data::Compare;  # Compares perl data structures.
