Thanks, Brian, apologies for replying to you directly, I somehow imagined the mailing list had posted it on your behalf. You can tell I am new around here.
It turned out it was an INC problem. I had three installations of Perl on the machine, the one that comes with mac os, activePerl 5.8 and ActivePerl 5.10. The first line of my script called /usr/bin/perl which must be the one that comes with Mac OS. Once I had figured out what perl to use it worked. Thanks for your help. I should have been able to figure that one out by myself. Cheers, Steffen ________________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Raven [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 June 2008 19:38 To: activeperl@listserv.ActiveState.com Subject: RE: install DBI Steffen Haugk <> wrote: > Hi, > trying to install DBI for use with mysql I can't seem to be able to > manage. > > - ppm tells me everything is OK > - cpan tells me it can't write makefile Recent versions of Activestate Perl come with DBI already installed (I believe that ppm uses it).

Could be an old version and DBI isn't installed, a new version installation that is broken, something wrong with your code, something else. Its hard to say without more info.
