Both of you are correct. It looks like some parts of the Oracle install
were restored in a different place than the new install.
Check the registry entries for HTTP, Data gatherer, etc. find out where
the Perl.dll file is located; look at any log files that are created
when these services start up - they will tell you exactly what the
problem was. Look on Metelink for answers to these errors.
