in reply to perl Install

As others have pointed out, DBD::ODBC may not come with your copy of perl. I checked my Strawberry Perl and CygPerl installations. Neither came with this particular module. You'll have to install the module using PPM or CPAN.

    Thanks so much. I installed from the Active Perl site. I will try the suggestions.
      I get the following error when I tried the install C:\Documents and Settings\cqchmgmt>ppm install DBD-ODBC Downloading ActiveState Package Repository packlist...failed 500 Can't connect t o ppm4.activestate.com:80 (connect: Unknown error) ppm install failed: Can't find any package that provide DBD-ODBC
        You may need to set-up some environment variables to deal with connecting through a proxy. You can find more information here.
        I've got the same probem. i could install DBD-ODBC by downloading the files: DBD-ODBC.ppd DBD-ODBC-1.13.tar.gz and editing the <CODEBASE HREF> in the ppd-file (its a xml-file) finally executing: "ppm install <path>\DBD-ODBC.ppd" Unpacking DBD-ODBC-1.13...done Generating HTML for DBD-ODBC-1.13...done Updating files in site area...done 8 files installed and it works
