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

Hi Monks,

I'm trying to install the dbd::odbc module on active state perl 5.6.1 build 635 on Win 2000 server. I get the following error:
D:\>ppm install D:\compilers\Perl\perl_modules\temp dbd-odbc.ppd

Can't find unicode character property definition via main->e or e.pl a
+t unicode/Is/e.pl line 0

[download]
Anybody seen this before?

Thanks,
Smaug.

    Hi,

    Try changing 

    D:\>ppm install D:\compilers\Perl\perl_modules\temp dbd-odbc.ppd

    [download]
    to 
    D:\>ppm install D:/compilers/Perl/perl_modules/temp dbd-odbc.ppd

    [download]

    Perl doesn't like \'s for the path, so when I had this problem, I change my path to use /'s and it worked fine.

    Hi!

    try this link.

    Looks like you better copy the module to your current directory and run "ppm install module.ppd"

    Always start your searches at Google :)
