Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Using ppm, I recently installed DBI 1.37 on one PC and upgraded the module on a second PC (Win2000 in both cases, perl version 5.6.1.) Prior to the upgrade, dbish worked. Now when I try to run dbish on the new install or the upgraded PC I get an error message, complaining that the file cannot be found and/or components may be missing. I have a third PC that has not had the DBI upgraded and dbish works fine there. Has something happened to dbish in the newest release of DBI? Any suggestions on how to resurrect this handy little program? I've done a super search, and searched on the web and haven't found any specific references to this. DBI itself seems to perform as expected.

    Starting from version 1.34, the DBI shell is a separate package.

    You need to install DBI::Shell and everything will be back to normal.
