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.

    For perl 5.8:
    ppm install http://trouchelle.com/ppm/DBD-JDBC.ppd
