This worked for me as well!

Make sure you uninstall any other perl version ... delete the old perl dir and then search and delete any perl58.dll files found.
Reboot your computer, then install 5.8.9.825 ver. ... reboot computer again after installation, then use PPM in dosshell to install DBI and IO-Stringy only.

No problems after that.

I also found a place where you can get the DBD-MySQL at if needed:
**NOTE - this was copied from a readme file included DBD-MySQL downloadable file from Active State**

Hope this helps someone if you need it.

Windows/ActivePerl

1.) If you need to use an HTTP Proxy, set the environment
variable http_proxy, for example like this:

set http_proxy=http://myproxy.com:8080/

2.) The actual installation is as simple as

ppm install DBI
ppm install DBD::mysql

As of this writing, the above procedure won't work with
ActivePerl 5.8.0, because so far a PPM for DBD::mysql is
not available from the ActiveState server. I don't know
why. However, Randy Kobes has kindly donated a PPM package
to his own repository. You can use this as follows:

ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/DBD-mysql.ppd

I have just upgraded to 460 and I am now getting a error
Perl_hv_common_key_len could not be located in the dynamic link library perl58.dll
and I have ActivePerl 5.10.0 Build 1001 and Perl58.dll in the windows system dir.

anyone know why?

Nm I just downloaded Ver 473 and it back to working ...

I've ran servers before (within the past 3 months), but just recently decided to start back up. However when I downloaded the rev703 from the project site, I received this perl error upon trying to start up the server. Perl_hv_common_key_len could not be located in the dynamic link library perl58.dll

I thought it might have been related to an outdated perl version, so I removed my version of perl and installed the 8.8.822 version listed here. I've tried restarting/deleting all perl/perl58.dll files and I am still getting this error. Anyone have any insight? Like I said, I have ran servers from this computer before with no problems.

Resolved by updating to 8.8.824

Just thought I'd pop in to say that this issue was finally resolved on the Windows XP system I'd posted about previously.

Deleting the perl58.dll file out of the Windows/System32 folder is all it took. That's what was screwing things up.
