Hi Chris,

I do have it installed, I copied the CPAN tar and extracted it to lib\class\dbi

    Hmm...
    You didn't take the standard "install" approach? 
    tar xvz Module-Name-xxx.tar.gz
cd Module-Name-xxx
perl ./Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install PREFIX=/my/perl_directory

    I'm pertty sure that the Module will not be properly registered, otherwise.
    While you could attempt
    use lib ('/path/to/perl/modules');
    I'm not sure why you wouldn't simply choose a "standard" install for this module.

    Anyway. Just my thoughts on it.

my $perl_version = (5.12.5);

      Hi Chris,

      I am so fresh off the boat with Perl, I did not attempt to install it the way you demonstrated, I just tried and got an error.

      Hi Chris,

      Than you for your help.

      It looks like I need a number of other dependencies, such as Class-DBI-0.95.

      Is there a quicker way to install all of these?

      AJ

        Greetings, newbieperlperson.

        Indeed there is. But while I could answer your question. I'm going to let someone more familiar with a MinGW install, on a Winboxen. It's been about 12yrs. since I've done that, and while I could get you through it. I'd not do you nearly the service that someone here with more recent experience could.

        Best wishes.
