PPM is used to install prebuilt modules - you don't need to do make the
software.
In order to install the latest versions of DBI and DBD-ODBC as Jeff
advised you need to set the repository to point other than at Activestate
before doing the install:
At a command prompt type PPM:
PPM> set repository esoftmatic ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI
PPM> install DBI
PPM> install DBD-ODBC
That should get things working.
I think I'm right in saying that RAQ Servers run a version of LINUX so in
theory it will be possible to get them to access a database on SQLServer.
You will however need additional software to get this working, check out
Easysoft's ODBC-ODBC bridge software at www.easysoft.com

Oh ok so run the make commands etc in the ppm install console.
Will give that a try.
Do you have any ideas on my other problem.
On another note what I would really like to do is access my SQLserver
database via tcp/ip comms from a remote raq server running perl. Is this
possible and if so how.
Cheers

OK. If you're using Windows, then you shouldn't need to make anything.
If you haven't already, get hold of ActivePerl from www.Activestate.com,
and then use PPM to install whichever modules you need. To access
SQLServer you'll need DBI and DBD-ODBC.
Regards.

I did originally in attachments, but the server must have cropped them
off.
I am running Win2k. and perl5 (revision 5 version 6 subversion 1)
I am trying to install the DBI-1.25 module. to access databases.
On another note what I would really like to do is access my SQLserver
database via tcp/ip comms from a remote raq server running perl. Is this

Letting people know what you are trying to 'make' and on what platform
etc. is normally a good idea...
