So, I guess I'm using activestate. As I said earlier, I'm new to all of this (windows systems). I did a search and found DBI.pm at C:\Perl\site\lib\PerlEx, so I'm not sure why it's not finding it.

As to installing DBD::SQLite, again, I went to the site, the download was a .kit file, what do I do with a .kit file????

I know this will turn most stomachs, but I'm a Mac person. If this didn't have to be cross-platform there would be no problem. MS doesn't like DBM records over 1k, not a problem with the Mac. I'm trying to find a working solution for both platforms.
