in reply to Windows XP && Perl && Sybase

I don't know much about ActiveState perl, or about Windows... However, according to some other users that have contact me, here's what you can do:

According to Jeff Kramer you can do the following: I actually did solve this, although surprisingly there are no posts directly related on google.

From active perl 5.6 or 5.8 ppm, use the 'install' command & point to a url that contains the sybperl.ppd

i.e.:

* ppm install http://ppm.Activestate.com/PPMPackages/5.6/sybperl.ppd

See also my bug tracking system for additional details.

    Ok that works fine, I've now got the sybperl module loaded.
    But the code I have already written for my production site (UNIX) uses Sybase::DBlib and all is fine in that world and when I ported it all to a laptop for stand-alone use ...
    the 1st time was on Win 2K and all worked with a few tweeks
    Now I'm asked to move it all to a new laptop running Win XP and all is not well even with the newly installed SybPerl module.
    Also in reply to MrChromeDome: nope I havn't tried to rewrite my code, I see that as a last resort at this point.

    Thanks for all your support,
