My question was closed before I got an answer, so I am going to reopen it.
I’ve been looking all over the place and http://www.cpan.org/misc/cpan-faq.html#H… gives me an answer, but it doesn’t appear to be correct. I look at my perllocal.pod file and there’s no mention of the recently installed module DBIx::MSSQLReporter. I used CPAN.pm to do the install and got no errors. Additional comments on the subject can be found at http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic…. and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t… I don’t have enuogh characters here to list my perllocal.pod. An earlier incarnation was posted at ubuntuforums. Is it possible I have two perllocal.pod or another place where the installation could be verified? Thanks!
anybody who re-read the forum posts would see there is a new perllocal.pod that does not have the perl installation issues.
Again, anyone that read the forum posts would know the OS….Windows and the installation method, active state.
ugh, just realized when I copied and pasted Yahoo! Answers replaced the links with "…" so here are the posts again:

I decided to start over on a new XP box. I installed from the ActivePerl MSI version @ 5.10.0.1002. Still get the same error…
I won’t be able to test this until Friday at the earliest, but I think this may help me: http://search.cpan.org/src/RSAVAGE/DBIx-MSSQLReporter-1.04/README
Likely, I won’t be able to touch that machine until Monday…after the question expires…
Hi:
Sorry to see that you’re still having some problems with perl. I answered you earlier and you gave me a best answer. Thanks for that and sorry that I didn’t fully solve your problem. I can’t get to your other links to look at what’s going on. I’m quite strong in perl and linux, but have only used ubuntu linux a little bit. I’m going to suggest that you look at a couple of other forums that specialize in perl and ask your questions there. I’m sure that you’ll get the answer you need. The perl community is large and very helpful. Try: http://perlguru.com/
They should be able to get you through this in short order.
