Hi, sorry if this question is a little newbie.

I'm trying to install the DBI module on Windows 2000. I have 
ActiveState's Active Perl installed (and it works fine), but I don't have 
cl.exe. I can't install anything which requires a licence (so I can't get 
cl.exe from Visual Studio).

Has anyone tried to install DBI with this setup? Does anyone know 
where I can get a copy of cl.exe, or what I need to do to use a 
different c compiler (I think that's what cl.exe is). Or does anyone 
know what I can do with my config.pm file, etc., to make PPM work?

At the moment these are the errors I get:

C:\DBI>make
Makefile:904: *** missing separator.  Stop.

C:\DBI>nmake
(... all works fine until ...)
'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

C:\DBI>ppm
PPM interactive shell (2.1.5) - type 'help' for available commands.
PPM> install dbi
Install package 'dbi?' (y/N): y
Installing package 'dbi'...
Error installing package 'dbi': Read a PPD for 'dbi', but it is not 
intended for this build of Perl (MSWin32-x86-multi-thread)

Cheers,
Liz.
