Hi

I am trying to install Perl 5.8.7 Build 815 and when install DBI. I am getting the following error :

Unknown command 'ls'; type 'help' for a list of commands.
> ppm> install dbi.pm

From your references to ActiveState and 'ppm', are we correct in inferring that you're on Win32?

If so, then you probably can't use the 'ls' command, as that's primarily a command on Unix-like systems.

(I know that 'ls' is a valid command inside the Windows FTP client. But I don't think it's valid at the command prompt. I'm not at a Windows box now, so I can't say whether 'ls' is a valid command at the 'ppm>' prompt.)
