Re: help installing DBI

The site has been flaky, but I know I had problems installing the CGI perlmod a few days ago. What I ended up doing was pointing the perl package manager directly at what I wanted to install. In your case (and if you are running Perl 5.6 and are inside PPM), try:

install http://www.activestate.com/PPMPackages/5.6/DBI.ppd

Excellent it worked. 1)For my information, exactly why is the ppd needed at all. 2)Is there a simple way i can check to see wether a module installed correctly. I looked through the perl/lib after installing DBI but could see no DBI.pm. 3)Can i usee the PPM to check what modules i already have installed on my system. Thanks	[reply]
