K well try this it ended up working for me uninstall activeperl from control panel. Then go in and delete the remaining perl directory cause it wont be entirely deleted.
Check your system for any other remaining perl58.dll files alot of people including myself at some point or another copied that file into there system32 directory trying to fix one problem or another *gotta love learning*
Then i used Eusing Free Registry cleaner and just cleaned out my registry. This step may not have been completely needed but it cant hurt. At this point make sure you reboot. Then do a fresh install of your activeperl. If you are using 5.8.8 install your DBI and your IO-Stringy for 5.8.8 dont worry about the DBD-Mysql it wont be there anyway. If you are installing your 5.8.7 then do all 3 Last but not least reboot again and start up your server.
That should fix your hailing and quests. Let me know.
