module upgrade using ppm?

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Fellow Monks,

I am using windows 2000 with Activetsate Perl. I recently installed Version 1.02 of Michael Pepplers DBD::Sybase module. I got the instructions from DBD::Sybase - I'm having trouble installing it. These showed how to install the relevant modules from crazyinsomniacs ppm repository - http://crazyinsomniac.perlmonk.org/perl/ppm/5.8/
I saw on another recent node windows sybase error messages that Michael now has a more recent version of his Sybase module (Version 1.04). I've added the relevant repository http://www.peppler.org/downloads/ActiveState but I'm having no luck upgrading the previously installed module.
Using PPM, how do I upgrade just the DBD::Sybase module to the newer version??

Thanks a lot,
Jonathan

The file at www.pepple.org is a .zip file containing the .ppd needed to install DBD::Sybase. Download and unzip the .zip file. CD to the directory you unzipped into, then run ppm against the local .ppd (IIRC just ppm install ./DBD-Sybase.ppd, but check the PPM docs on installing from local files).	[reply]
