in thread Quick way to set up columns with Class::DBI ?

(Update: The post above by cees seems like the real explanation.)

(also I struggle to see the remotest reason why I might need anything to do with a TTY for my application but there you are...)

As do I. IO::Tty is not a direct prerequisite of anything in Rose::DB::*, nor is it an indirect prerequisite as far as I know. I don't even have that module installed, and I can pass the test suite running against all supported databases on Mac OS X and Linux. Maybe it's some sort of Win32 thing?

I use perl on Unix so I'm not very familiar with with the vagaries of perl on Win32. (I have gone through the DateTime PPM hunt before, however.) But as I said before, Rose:: is all pure perl, so no compiler should be required directly. For the few prerequisite modules that do require a compiler (e.g., DateTime), you should be able to hunt down PPMs.

You might have better luck asking on the RDBO mailing list. I'm pretty sure at least a few of the subscribers run RDBO on Win32.

    I've now got Rose installed on my client but it's failing on my server due to DateTime. I noticed your mention of the "DateTime PPM hunt" - does this mean you know something I should know??

    WRT DateTime only, so far the following modules have failed with CPAN but I have installed them using PPM:
    Class::Singleton

    Params::Validate

    DateTime::Locale
    DateTime::TimeZone
    But DateTime itself doesn't seem to be on the AS repository and CPAN won't install it either. Stuck again...any pointers?

      The "DateTime PPM hunt" recalls the time I tried to get DateTime installed on Windows and had to track down a PPM. I've long since forgotten where I found it. Maybe take a look at these mailing list posts to find some pointers. this one seems promising, assuming you know what to do with a "PPD file" (I don't).

      There's also this list of pre-built PPM files which appears to include DateTime and related modules. (Also available for "ActiveState 6xx," whatever that means). The DateTime page at that site has a bunch of PPM-related links at the bottom.

        Yes, this Winnipeg server is the bottom line best answer. It seems to have a lot more win32 packages ready to go than Active State. I've installed with very little problem. Thanks. Now, after 2 days getting it installed, I need to get coding...! 8o)
