PPM::Repositories

MJD says "you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!"

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

** The third rule of perl club is a statement of fact: pod is sexy.

Hi, I have managed to install the package throught its PPM file,..Thanks

However, when I run this script;
use strict;
use DBI;
my $dsn = 'dbi:Sybase:LNQ_HYDRA_APPS';
my $user = 'hydra_analyst';
my $passwd = 'hydra_analyst';
my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $passwd);
[download]
I get this error;
U:\scripts>odbc_test1.pl
DBI connect('LNQ_HYDRA_APPS','hydra_analyst',...) failed: OpenClient m

The parameters (i.e user name, password and database DSN name) are 100% correct! Any idea please why is this happening?

Thanks indeed.

It looks to me very much like there is some Sybase client configuration required - you will need to put the server in the SQL.ini file as described in the documentation
