in thread Cross-platform DB

Still getting the same error, thinking something wasn't installed where it should be: 
J:\BSACamps.tst\CGI>perl test.cgi

Can't locate DBI.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/lib C:/Perl/site/l
+ib .) at test.cgi line 6.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at test.cgi line 6.

Line 6 is the "use dbi;"

    You need to install DBI and DBD::SQLite. As others have asked, what perl are you using? If Activestate, then by using ppm, these dependencies are auto-magically resolved for you.

      On the current (windows) system I am at: 
      This is perl, v5.8.8 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 25 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

      So, I guess I'm using activestate. As I said earlier, I'm new to all of this (windows systems). I did a search and found DBI.pm at C:\Perl\site\lib\PerlEx, so I'm not sure why it's not finding it.

      As to installing DBD::SQLite, again, I went to the site, the download was a .kit file, what do I do with a .kit file????

      I know this will turn most stomachs, but I'm a Mac person. If this didn't have to be cross-platform there would be no problem. MS doesn't like DBM records over 1k, not a problem with the Mac. I'm trying to find a working solution for both platforms.

        Don't go to the sqlite website, use ppm: 

        C:> ppm 
>install DBD-SQLite
>exit
