I had this happen to me once or twice as well early on. My solution was to completely uninstall Perl 5.12.*, erase the leftover folders and reinstall Perl 5.10.*
I'm currently using 5.10, but I thought i wiped my previous perl out. I'll take your advice, start with a fresh perl after the recommended reboots, and post my progress tomorrow.
