Both have problems > compile or running Perl. > For DBI, I get C:PerlActivebinaryperl.exe: no found. > For DBD, after loading vcvars32, and few other fixes, I get make: Error - > - Don't know hwo to make C:\PerlActive\libConfig.pm. > > I've also used the cpan. It gives some funny command characters. > I've also used ppm manager and install a few modules. None shows for DBD- > mysql however. > I Could not get ppm to drag down the DBI or DBD modules for Win 32 either. I did it via CPAN not PPM in the end.
