I first reported this problem to the Win32::OLE Perl module RT queue,
but as it turns out, the problem is in the Cygwin shell environment and
not in the Cygwin perl or the module.

From Cygwin bash:

$ perl -MWin32::OLE -wle 'Win32::OLE->new("ADODB.Connection")'
Win32::OLE(0.1709) error 0x8007007e: "The specified module could not be
found" at -e line 1

In a cmd.exe window:

c:\users\rkitover>c:\cygwin\bin\perl -MWin32::OLE -wle
"Win32::OLE->new(q{ADODB.Connection})"

c:\users\rkitover>

that executes successfully.

Any ideas what can cause this?

It seems unlikely to be environment variables as Cygwin leaves most
environment variables alone, and COMSPEC is still set to cmd.exe.
