installing DBD-JDBC module on windows

salluri has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

am not finding a windows version of jbdc module. I want to use DBD-JDBC module to connect to JDBC Compliant database. I have searched and found the following link for windows downloads. It doesn't have DBD-JDBC module. Please point me to a location. http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/8xx-builds-only/Windows/

You should be able to install the DBD::JDBC module from CPAN - see Adding CPAN Modules to Active State Perl for more info on how to do this with ActiveState perl. You'll need `nmake`, but you won't need a C compiler for `DBD::JDBC`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
