Please, which is the version DBI for perl 5.6.0.618
Thanks.
Since I haven't seen other replies I'll take a guess.
If you are asking which version of DBI you already have installed,
then you can check. I use this
perl -M"DBI 99"
The error message will tell you what version is installed.
You mention 5.6.0.618 The only time I've seen that is when referring
to ActiveState.com's release of Perl 5.6.0 build 618. So is this for
their Windows Perl?
For that Perl you use the utility program 'ppm' to search
ActiveState's archive ('repository') of installable modules. If I
run ppm and then type in "search DBI" I get back
DBI [1.48 ] Database independent interface for Perl
You could then type in "install DBI" and it should install that version.
But that is a very old version. March 2005.
There are more recent versions of DBI for ActiveState 5.6.0 at other
repositories. People have built newer versions and supplied them at
their own archives.
Version 1.59 (August 2007) is available at
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/
The instructions there say you can use
ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/DBI.ppd
to install that version. I found that information at
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/ (Thanks Randy!)
There is another version 1.604 (March 2008) available using
ppm install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/DBI.ppd
I found that information at
http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppmdir.html (Merci beaucoup!)
Of course, once you have DBI installed, then you need to find the DBD
modules to use with your database vendor. But you can check these
three ppm sites (above) for possible modules also.
Good luck
