foundthat this dll refers directly to perl56.dll which of course is part of ActivePerl 5.6 which I have not installed.
SoI patched the dll and again got a little further. No more error messages about failing to load a dll. Now a real
connecterror pops up, which I have no idea to work at.</span></font><p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial"
