dneedles has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
However, on a different box with build 819 the same commands worked:C:\Perl\bin>perl -v This is perl, v5.8.8 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread (with 12 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail) Copyright 1987-2007, Larry Wall Binary build 824 [287188] provided by ActiveState http://www.ActiveSta +te.com Built Sep 3 2008 11:14:55 Perl may be copied only under the terms of either the Artistic License + or the GNU General Public License, which may be found in the Perl 5 source ki +t. Complete documentation for Perl, including FAQ lists, should be found +on this system using "man perl" or "perldoc perl". If you have access to + the Internet, point your browser at http://www.perl.org/, the Perl Home Pa +ge. C:\Perl\bin>ppm install DBI No missing packages to install C:\Perl\bin> ppm install DBD-mysql ppm install failed: Can't find any package that provides DBD-mysql C:\Perl\bin> ppm install DBD::mysql ppm install failed: Can't find any package that provides DBD::mysql
Is this an issue with the build or with the environment? How can the problem be troubleshot? Any ideas?C:\TEMP>perl -v This is perl, v5.8.8 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread (with 33 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail) Copyright 1987-2006, Larry Wall Binary build 819 [267479] provided by ActiveState http://www.ActiveSta +te.com Built Aug 29 2006 12:42:41 Perl may be copied only under the terms of either the Artistic License + or the GNU General Public License, which may be found in the Perl 5 source ki +t.
