Hey,

I'm on a Windows machine using ActiveState.

I installed DBI 1.39 on to the machine and it said it was successful. Now in a script where I call DBI, it automatically seems to die.

Even when I take the "or die" part to "or print", it still dies.

When I try to execute from the command line, it says sytax ok and no problems with DBI or anything. (previously when I didn't have DBI installed, the perl interp would give me a error saying can't locate DBI.pm)

I even tried using the DBI->trace, and it still doesn't print a error message.

I also installed DBD:ODBC module incase that could be the problem.

Anyone have an idea on what my problem may be?

Anthony


---------------------------------

Hey thanks for the help. I got this working properly for anyone who might come across this issue, what I forgot was installing the DBD-mysql driver for DBI. :)
