The example in cheetah seems to imply that the program will execute
gracefully. At this point I think this issue is probably addressed as a more
general perl issue of how to uninstall/reinstall a module. Further posts
along those lines will be directed to another group as it is no longer
expressly related to this group.
Thanks to all who read/replied. This is a very useful resource!

Nonetheless DBD::ADO specifically uses Win32::OLE and Win32 registry
specific instructions. For other DCOM ports you're out of luck and doing it
all for yourself.
Looking at this message it seems as though the question arose due to working
with examples in the cheetah book, and not really an attempt to get ADO on
Solaris working. <guilt>I don't actually have a cheetah book</guilt> but
this should be made really clear.
