Re: simple ppm question

PPM installs .ppm files, not .pm files. The former is a binary archive format. The latter, is just a text file.

To install that particular file, got to the url in your browser, and then use File->SaveAs to save the file to x:\yourperl\site\lib\ExtDBH.pm. And that's it, job done.

Where x:\yourperl\ is the location of your ActivePerl installation.

.ppm? You mean .ppd	[reply]

Kinda, but not really. A .ppd isn't a binary archive, it's a plain text (XML) file. Saying ".ppm" is um... artistic licence. The binary archive files are actually .zip files, but it's no good pointing PPM at any odd .zip you find lying around. You need to point ppm at a .ppd, which must have an associated .zip. All of which is not described anywhere I've seen. So, yes and no. :) Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
