Re: Setting up the dbi modules

Hi neutron,

Take a look at A guide to installing modules for Win32 from the tutorials section of this site. Pay special attention to the section on repositories and using PPM::Repositorie add all known repositories to your PPM.

Alternatively use the following syntax from the command line:

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

However I think adding the repositories to ppm may be the best solution in the long run. Note the above packages are for Perl 5.8.8/ActivePerl 8xx.

Update: Added last sentence.

Hope this helps

Martin

Hi Martin, Thanks for the reply, this is exactly inline with what I am looking for. I just tried using the command line but it doesn't seem to work for me. I tried the following: `c:\>ppm install http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/package.ppd` [download] And got the following: `ppm install failed: No PPd found at http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackag +e.ppd` [download] I also added trouchelle.com and cpan.uwinnipeg.ca to my repository and still no luck. I'm very confused :(	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I'm not sure if those are the URL you are actually trying, perhaps the uwinnipeg repository does not have 5.10 packages for the modules you are looking for. Try: `ppm install http://trouchelle.com/ppm10/DBI.ppd` Have you tried searching for these modules with ppm? Martin	[reply] [d/l]
