Re^3: DBI not installed

Downloading ActiveState Package Repository packlist...not modified.No missing packages to install.

Yes, I get the same (and DBD::mysql does not get installed).

Seems that ActiveState don't have a ppm for DBD::mysql, so you'll need to grab it from one of the other repositories - eg, for perl 5.10:

ppm install http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/DBD-mysql.ppd
[download]

or for perl 5.8:

ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/DBD-mysql.ppd
[download]

Cheers,
Rob

That's exactly how I did it a month or so ago, and it worked fine. If you read the CPAN page for DBD-Mysql, it tells you how the win32 install should go: http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBD-mysql/lib/DBD/mysql.pm#WIN32_INSTALLATION	[reply]

Ooh, that is annoying behavior of PPM. What I often do, is first check availability of modules using Kobes' search. At the bottom of the module info page, there's a list of PPM repositories that carry your module, and what version it is at. Next, I tend to add the most commonly found interesting repositories to the repository list in PPM. I find the generally most interesting repositories are Uwinnipeg (Kobes'), Bribes, Trouchelle, TCool (you must make sure you use the correct URL for your Perl version). Then, installing the module in the normal way is no longer a problem. Repeat, if you find you still have a problem with installing another module.	[reply]

ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/DBD-mysql.ppd I used that.It's same error. But, ppm install http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/DBD-mysql.ppd worked great. It is working now... Thanks Rob,Thats a relief.	[reply]

Just wanted to pop in and say thank you. I was having the same problem (for me it came down to not realizing that not all repositories would be the same so when PPM didn't see a DBD::mysql I was lost) and you guys not only solved the problem but taught me a little something. Thanks guys.	[reply]
