I suppose that it is possible that AS has switched compliers?

In the beginning, they produced perls built using MSVC++ version 6.0.
Later on, IIRC, even though their perls were still being built by a Microsoft Compiler, it became possible to ppm install mingw, which would install a mingw port of gcc.
That gcc compiler could then be used to build perl extensions (XS modules), etc.
This was facilitated by software that shipped with the AS perl distro and provided the same capability as provided by ExtUtils::FakeConfig.

Later again, ActiveState started building their perls with a mingw port of gcc, but I'm not sure when that change actually happened.
I, too, still have an AS build of perl 5.24 - specifically a 64-bit perl-5.24.1 built with gcc-4.6.3.
I know it's an AS build because the perl -V output contains:
Locally applied patches: ActivePerl Build 2402 [401627]
To me, it looks unlikely that ActiveState ever provided an MSVC-built perl-5.24.1 - but I don't really know.

Cheers,
Rob

    I also show something similar on my AS 5.24 Windows machine:
    Locally applied patches: ActivePerl Build 2404 [404865]
    The claim by the OP that he is using "active Perl" has got us into quite a kerfuffle..
    Something is wrong about the "story".

    I think the OP should "start over" with a new Perl installation.
    Going from "ground-zero" to working will be easier than going from "we don't know and not working" to working.

      I think the OP should "start over" with a new Perl installation.

      Ummmm ... I've certainly no objection to the OP doing that. In fact I would probably recommend the same.
      However, I also think that the OP's current perl should be quite capable of accommodating DBI, DBD::MySQL and DBD::MariaDB.

      Cheers,
      Rob
