    I have upgraded from perl version 5.6 to 5.8 and all hell seem to have
    broken loose. For some strange reason, DBI module looks for perl56.dll
    Can anybody advise me how to fix it? I am running Perl on Windows 2000.
    A window alert pops out with a title "Perl.exe - unable to locate dll".
    It displays the following message:
     "The dynamic library perl56.dll could not be found in the specified path.
    <lists the complete path>"
    I used PPM to install Class-DBI-Oracle.

    use DBI;
    $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:TEST",
    "userid/password\@somename.someco.com", "");
