Cannot install DBI
I'm trying to do some simple MYSQL stuff on my Windows XP machine. Basically I'm trying to read into the VBulletin MYSQL database with perl.
I downloaded phptriad2-2-1.exe which set everything I needed MYSQL and PHP wise, but also has installed me another copy of apache. Any how... the main thing is I now have VBulleting and a database on my machine.
HOWEVER, when I now try running a perl script, the moment it gets to a "USE DBI;" statement it causes an Internel System Error, and the error log reports:-
Can't locate DBI.pm in @INC (@INC contains: c:/usr/lib c:/usr/site/lib .) at c:/blahblah/db.pl line 3.
This same error message occurs no matter which of the two version of apache I now have.
The interesting thing is I can see in "C:\usr\perl\site\lib" the following stuff:-
A "DBI" directory
DBI-1.32.packlist
DBI.pm
I expect this other directory is from one of my numerous different perl/apache installs over the years?
Anyway, I tried installing DBI by using PPM but always get:- Error installing package 'DBD-Mysql': Could not local PPD file for package DBD-Mysql.
If I type "search" I get:-
Packages available from "http://ww.activestate.com/Packages/:" and nothing else...
Help...

Hi,

Can't locate DBI.pm in @INC (@INC contains: c:/usr/lib c:/usr/site/lib .) ... I can see in "C:\usr\perl\site\lib" the following stuffYep, and that's probably the problem. C:\usr\perl\site\lib is not in INC or - the other way round - your module is not in the directories searched by Perl. I'd try to copy the DBI stuff over to c:/usr/site/lib

I've tried copying the three things (a directory and two files) mentioned to "c:\usr\site\lib" but the error message just changes to...
Can't locate loadable object for module DBI in @INC (@INC contains: c:/usr/lib c:/usr/site/lib .) at c:/usr/site/lib/DBI.pm line 250

A package for DBD-mysql is available at these locations:
http://ppm.ActiveState.com/cgibin/PPM/ppmserver-5.8-windows.pl?urn:/PPMServer
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/cgi-bin/ppmserver?urn:/PPMServer58
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms
See A guide to installing modules for Win32 for how to create a repository and general ppm advice.

Looking at your link, some of the commands are invalid in my PPM...
For example, if I type "rep", I get "unknown command 'rep'".
Could it be my "PPM" is old/duff? It says (1.0.0) on starting up!?

Yes. My ppm (Perl 5.8.0) is version 3.1. What's your version of Perl? It must at least be 5.6 or older.

Umm... Dumb question... How can I see what version of perl it is?
What's the easiest way to upgrade it?

NeilF,
'How can I see what version of perl it is?'
Type perl -v from the command line print the version and patch level of your Perl executable, while perl -V prints a summary of the configuration values and the contents of @INC.
