in thread Cross-platform DB

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

      Perfect! Thanks!

      Anyone know if the install on the Mac is similar? Did not see a Mac install up there.

      Again, derby, thanks.

        For mac and linux (depending on config), you just want to do: 

        $ sudo perl -MCPAN -eshell
cpan[1]> install DBD::SQLite

        [download]
        but for mac, you'll need to ensure you have the OS-X developer tools installed.
