Hi everyone

We are having problems installing DBD::CSV on our Windows machines. We are 
using ActivePerl build 820 and all come with DBI preinstalled. So far so good :)

The problem is that DBI installs the /DBD/File.pm file which ppm remembers. 
When we try to install DBD::CSV it says that DBD::File is required and wants to 
install that as well. Then ppm finds out that it needs to write to 
/DBD/File.pm, which belongs to the DBI package and fails.

It's not a serious problem for us (just annoying) since we on another machine 
already had DBD::CSV installed, so we just copied the files.

And it could be a mistake in ppm, or in the way the ppm packages are built. I 
have filed a bug report with ActiveState 
(http://bugs.activestate.com/show_bug.cgi?id=73237) but have received no 
response. I am posting this to this mailinglist in the hope that someone else 
knows where the mistake is and is willing to fix it :)


Best regards
