Can't locate object method "require

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

Dear Monks,

I set up Perl on a Win XP box a couple of months ago. I have just started to try and use it and I've got the following error message. Can anyone please explain the message.


Can't locate object method "require_version" via package "DBI" at C:/P
+erl/lib/DB
I.pm line 22.
Compilation failed in require at XXX.pl line 15.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at XXX.pl line 15.

perldoc perldiag contains extended explainations of all of Perl's diagnostic messages. Maybe that will help you. Can you demonstrate a short (<10 line) program that exhibits this behaviour for you? -- <http://dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply]

Win, Please post example code along with the error message, as described in How do I post a question effectively? Have you correctly installed DBI along with the database driver you wish to use? Update: s/You have/Have you/ Martin	[reply]

Sounds like you're missing `@ISA = qw( Exporter );` in a module using Exporter. `require_version` is called by (and provided via inheritance by) Exporter to handle `use Module version;`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
