FYI:
There is a tool with Active Perl called 'ppm'. If you use that it will download, and install most modules to the correct place. DBI/DBD is one of them(I used it for that). Here's how you run it:

c:\Perl>bin\ppm
PPM interactive shell(2.1.2) - type 'help' for available commands
PPM>install [modulename]
[download]

Very convenient for the Windows environment.

Hope that helps.

But of course it won't since, you indicated that you already tried PPM and it didn't work. Sorry about that. I guess I should probably stop skimming entirely. I'm having this post deleted so please disregard it.
