BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1. I tried to work-around including the other path manually, but then I get this error: $ perl -I/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2/cygwin-thread-multi-64int -e "use Win32::OLE" Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2/cygwin-thread-multi-64int/auto/Win32/OLE/OLE.dll' for module Win32::OLE: dlopen, Win32 error 126 at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8/cygwin/DynaLoader.pm line 230. at -e line 1 Compilation failed in require at -e line 1.
