J, I could have sworn I had a clean install last night. As per your advice, I installed V5.8 AGAIN (this is the third or fourth time) and now ppm does not give me that prompt when I install DBD-ODBC. Strange. It just installs and the sample program works.
Now if I could only figure out how to install GD...

Type install 1 to install first one, the onle with the higher version.
