Hi monks!

I am trying to use a script which uses Bio::SeqIO and Bio::Seq, so I tried to install Bioperl on my Windows 8.1 machine. However, before this I have to install the module DB_File, and that's where my trouble starts:

I have installed Berkeley DB 4.3.29, but DB_File's install is failing, and apparently for it to work I have to edit the "config.in" file (see http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/PMQS/DB_File-1.820/config.in ). I have been unsuccessful however, as each time I attempt I get an "access denied" message. Can one of you monks tell me how I can circumvent this?
