Perl56.dll was not found

[mikelawrence]

I had Perl 5.6 installed and then i updated it to 5.8.8. Now when I run a program that uses the DBI module it fails with an error of "This application has failed to start because Perl56.dll was not found". When i look in the bin directory there is no perl56.dll file but there is a perl58.dll so why is it looking for perl56? I've checked the properties of perl in the bin and it is 5.8.8.822.

Any ideas would be much appreciated

Thanks

did you re-install the DBI module?

Yep i did, when i look in ppm i have 2 DBIs, one in the site area and one in the perl area both of which are version 1.58. Why would it be looking for 5.6? When i run ppm i'm getting 5.8 listed. I could well be doing something rather dumb though as i am no perl expert... Thanks for the interest!

I would uninstall perl and delete the directory if it doesn't and then re-install.
