    I already have copied that file from strawberry folder to xampp

    Hi,

    You shouldn't need to do that

    Find "portableshell.bat", and run "portableshell.bat" before trying to run apache ...

    It adds perl directories to %PATH%, so perl -MDBD::mysql -e 1 just works

    a forum software called Gossamer Threads

    Link?
