I crosschecked with strawberry on the same machine, where
ADODB.Connection is registered.
c:\strawberry> perl -MData::Dumper -MWin32::OLE -le "print
Dumper(Win32::OLE->new(q(ADODB.Connection)))"
$VAR1 = bless( {
'Properties' => bless( {
'Count' => 14,
'Item' => undef
}, 'Win32::OLE' ),
'ConnectionString' => 'Provider=MSDASQL.1',
'CommandTimeout' => 30,
'ConnectionTimeout' => 15,
'Version' => '6.1',
