Re: Perl modules in Windows

ActivePerl comes with an utility called PPM (Perl Package Manager, I guess).

Just open a DOS prompt and type ppm. Then just do "install module-name".

e.g.: install Net::IRC

PPM can also search ActiveState so you can find the modules you need. Just type "search term".

BTW, you can type "help" as well *lol*

Best regards,

If you use a proxy also set these environmental variables as such: `set HTTP_proxy = http://myproxy.goes.here set HTTP_proxy_user = my_proxy_user_name set HTTP_proxy_pass = my_proxy_password` [download] Activestate has very good documentation for all that comes with their perl distribution and the modules they supply.

I have worked out ppm. Now I get the following when I run my program. `Can't locate DBI/ODBC.pm in @INC (@INC contains:F:/Perl/lib etc etc` [download] Any explanation? I have already installed: `3. DBD-ODBC [1.06] ODBC Driver for DBI` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Can't locate DBI/ODBC.pm That doesn't sound right, it should be DBD/ODBC. Either you typoed in your script or you didn't cut and paste. The correct syntax is: `my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:ODBC:$dsn",$user,$pass,$attrs);` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
