Yea have seen the bitness issue mentioned a bunch. Been very careful to select the 64 bit version of everything. Only questionable items are DBI (cpan DBI) and DBD::DB2 (cpan DBD::DB2) Is there some special flag I need to set or different package name for the 64 bit versions of those 2? 
Have another note types up with everything I just did (full uninstall and reinstall) and the new error I hit. 
Thanks,Peter
