in reply to Install Win32::ODBC in Strawberry Perl

If you want to access an ODBC database, note that DBD::ODBC already is installed with Strawberry Perl.

If you want to install Win32::ODBC for another reason, just run the following command:

cpan path\to\Win32-ODBC-0.035.tar.gz

Or do the installation half-manually:

  1. Unpack the .tar.gz file to a known location
  2. Run
    cpan .
  3. done

Or do the installation steps separately if you encounter errors:

  1. Unpack the .tar.gz file to a known location
  2. Run
    perl Makefile.PL
  3. Run
    gmake test
  4. Run
    gmake install
  5. done
