I'm using DBI to query an Oracle database, but I'm getting an error:

install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't load 'C:/Perl/lib/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.dll' for module DBD::Oracle: load_file:The specified module could not be found at C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 201.
at (eval 5) line 3
Compilation failed in require at (eval 5) line 3.
Perhaps a required shared library or dll isn't installed where expected
at C:/Documents and Settings/rthatche/My Documents/workspace/Junk/averagespeed.pl line 38

the Oracle.dll is where the file path is looking for it (C:/Perl/lib/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.dll). I know the code works (it worked on different machines). I've uninstalled and reinstalled active perl 5.10 with the same result (and DBI and DBD-Oracle are installed). I know this isn't a 100% perl problem, but I'm hoping someone here can help me because I've had this problem for some time now, tried everything I can think of, and really need to get this working. Also, I'm using WinXP Pro SP3.

Thank you.
