I have switched webhosts. I cannot get DBI and DBD working correctly from a local directory on that host. (Readyhosting does not have installed -- and will not install -- DBI or DBD:ODBC.)
I suspect the difficulty stems from the fact that I cannot install directly on the host machine. The new host permits FTP but not telnet. Can anyone help me figure out a way around this problem? I thought I would try installing DBI and DBD on my local machine and FTPing all the files to the local directory I want to use as lib on the server. I did this as I usually do, with ppm. I put an appropriate lib statement in a little perl test program, but I receive this error statement: Can't locate DBI.pm in @INC (@INC contains: D:/html/users/somethingnet/perl5lib D:/Perl/lib D:/Perl/site/lib .) at d:\html\users\somethingnet\html\cgi\test1.cgi line 3. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at d:\html\users\somethingnetnet\html\cgi\test1.cgi line 3. (I've substituted something for the actual domain name.) The new host runs Microsoft IIS on NT machines with Perl 5.6.0 by Activestate installed. Thanks.
