my boss has purchased a bit of software that runs in perl. I'm trying to get it up and running, but having lots of problems. The softwares called logicnow and i've posted the code out put i'm getting there
http://community.logicnow.com/showthread.php?t=810. The prblem. I have been told to also install HTML::parser which seems to install fine. The only one i seem to have a problem with is the DBD::mysql, I get the following error
