Sorry, I posted the solution over in the
main perl error thread, on
page 2:

It was 5.8.8.824. I used the PPM manager to install the DBI-mysql and IO-stringy modules to be sure, but I just uninstalled them to check, and the server loaded just fine.
Just to reiterate:
EQEmu server (build 884 binaries) running on a Windows XP computer using the 5.8.8.824 installation of perl with no additional modification.
Check your windows/system32 folder for the perl58.dll file and make sure to delete it if it is there.

The problem was that the perl58.dll file was in the system32 folder. That's what was screwing things up. My guess is that without that, nearly any of the versions of perl would've worked. It had only been placed there because someone had posted that it solved their issues, but it wound up causing problems.
