in reply to Remove ODBC Data Source - Win32::ODBC

Try inserting an empty second parameter , to fill in the placeholder for the DRIVER.

ConfigDSN ( OPTION, DRIVER, ATTRIBUTE ... )

    I have sufficient permissions. Also, I checked the Win32::ODBC documentation and the driver parameter is not needed. For removing a data source, only the "DSN=" parameter is needed. Something else must be going on...

      I can reproduce the problem - it looks like a bug in the ODBC module.

      Here is a TESTED Workaround (Yes it DID remove the DSN): 

      >perl -MWin32::ODBC -e "Win32::ODBC::ConfigDSN( ODBC_REMOVE_DSN,'', qq
+(DSN=TempDB) );"

      Notice - you need the NULL STRING as the DRIVER parameter.
      Update: undef also seems to work there.
