I suspect with mh.exe, the ON object gets defined on startup, whereas maybe
with the interpreted mh it doesn't get defined before caddx.pm get loaded?
'on' would indeed be safer, so I'll change the ON and OFF to 'on' and 'off'
here.

The likely problem with the windows DB_File on 5.8 is you don't have
libdb.dll file in your path.  You can download it from tar file listed in
the install doc, or you I just copied it here:

 http://misterhouse.net/public/libdb.dll

I'll try to make those install docs a bit clearer on this problem.
