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 Henning Michael Møller Just
