Is there any other workaround for this? I tried install 5.8.7.813 from the guide but it said an entry point was missing. After that I tried the newest version, and it was missing this .dll instead... Then I found this thread and installed a newer version of 5.8 but the .dll is still missing PLUS now the "ppm install" portion of the guide no longer works.
After installing 5.10 Perl still seems to thing it needs a GUI. I can't type in "ppm" by itself anymore without getting an error. I tried install the 3 things the guide suggests, but only one will install.
ppm install DBI
ppm install DBD-mysql <--- does not install
ppm install IO-stringy <--- does not install
error: ppm install failed: Can't find find any package that provides DBD-mysql
error: ppm install failed: Can't find find any package that provides IO-stringy
I found someone else that had the problem, which was solved by adding a package. I tried it but failed. I tried one from activestate.com that said it was for the 5.8 platform, but got an error:
ppm install
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/package.lst
ppm install failed: The PPD does not provide code to install from this platform
INSTALLATION USED SO FAR:

I uninstall. Delete directory. And reboot before each re-install.
