First, you need DBD::ODBC, not DBD::mysql! Second, this seems like you have some leftovers of Perl 5.6 on your computer. I think it will be best to uninstall Perl, delete the perl directory, search for and delete any perl.exe and then install Perl 5.8. The error suggests that you are running the script with an old perl.exe.
