Hello,
I'm installing DBI in my linux box and i was experiencing the problem "Cannot locate
auto/DBI/_install_me.al in @INC (@INC contains: .).. " and i found the solution in
the mailing list archives as mail bellow, but now i get this new message
"DBI/_install_me.al did not return a true value at ..." . and i did not find anything
in the archives.
some tip or help will be appreciated
Best Regards,
Jose Antonio

Brilliant Michael!
Thanks for that piece of information. Having looked around I found the
module with its correct name. The module name for DB2 is 'dbd-db2'.
Requesting this one with ppm works as expected and now my Perl w32-ix86
DBI/DB2 installation is just fine.
==========================================================
This is just for other who might be curious how I did it ...
Procedure to activate dbi and db2 modules in an ActivePerl installation:
1) Connect to the internet and make sure you can see www.activestate.com
2) From a command line interface(DOS box), type ppm
3) type 'install dbi'
Now you need to wait a bit because data is being downloaded
When this has finished, successfully, you need to do the same with
the DB2 module
4) type 'install dbd-db2'
Wait again for the successful installation ...
5) Test your installation with a similar script like below
> I have Perl 5.6 from Active State, I used PPM to download and install

> strict variable
> problem in DBI, so I copied DBI to DBI2 and then I commented those
> variables out in DBI2 and changed my program to use DBI2

> Then the problem I cannot figure out, I get this response:
> Cannot locate auto/DBI/_install_me.al in @INC (@INC contains: .)..
