Check out my post in the DBMan Discussion forum titled DBMan in a Windows environment - Checklist, it covers the major difference in setting up DBMan in Windows as opposed to Unix.

Running Perl 5.006 probobly won't hurt DBMan, so there's no nead to "downgrade" to 5.003.

If, after going through the post mentioned above, you are still having problems, please let us know.

Good luck!

This looks like Perl was istalled and then moved. Try reinstalling Perl and leaving it where it is. I had the same thing happen.
Once I did that the bang on the db.cgi now looks like this:
#!D:\www\perl\bin\Perl5.6.0.exe
the program is working but not with out error, that is only a matter of time.

Looks like it cant find default.cfg
