how should this work?? Take a look at the source:
http://search.cpan.org/src/SGOELDNER/DBD-ADO-2.95/lib/DBD/ADO.pm
and you will find at line 6:
 use Win32::OLE();
so I cant imagine how you can even start a testscript without getting an 
abort?? I would guess that once you have a 'use DBD::ADO;' in your script it 
will directly breaks...?
