ASP/PerlScript Issue - Please help

My apologies.  I should have included the entire thread in
my last post.
--------
I've tried uninstalling Perl build
638/reboot/reinstall/reboot and re-registering perlse.dll
with no luck.  This is a production box and I'm told NO to
reinstalling IIS.  It doesn't appear that any patches have
been installed prior to this problem.  I did turn off the
friendly HTTP error option and I'm getting this error:

PerlScript Error error '80004005'
(in cleanup) Can't call method "Item" on an
undefined value

The line of code it fails on is:
$testvar = $Request->QueryString('test')->Item();

Doing several searches on this error only points me to
re-install or upgrade MDAC which I've already tried.  This
is a nightmare!  I guess I'm forced to accept converting
this to CGI.  Or maybe the smart bet is to re-write this in
JavaScript.  Thank you all very much for the help!

I'd look at the c:perlbinperlse.dll and make sure it's
version
information says something similar to 5.6.x.638

Then...

C:perlbin>regsvr32 perlse.dll

If there's anything wrong with the PerlScript, that should
help clear it
up.

However, if that doesn't work, you might try uninstalling
perl, deleting
the entire directory (C:Perl) -- backing up any important
scripts or
modules first, then rebooting, and finally reinstalling perl
from
scratch followed by a reboot.

Make sure that the checkbox for PerlScript and IIS script
mappings are
on (I think they are by default). 

Beyond that, I may be of little or no use.  Sorry.  638 has
always
worked in the past.
