When in trouble with Activestate Perl for windows you best bet would be to
1) deinstall all of the Activestate products on your box
2) install only the free version of Perl from here

3) start again
Hi Tim,
I very new to Perl and have been put in a situation where I am supposed to
figure out why a Perl code is not working. I have already written to
dbi-users@perl.org
and am still awaiting a response. I just thought I would right to you too
with a hope that you might be able to help me.
Issue is with the DBI module for Perl, v5.6.1 built for
MSWin32-x86-multi-thread on Windows 2003. I am getting a syntax error: Can't
locate DBI.pm in @INC. I checked the directories in @INC array and both the
directories (C:\Perl\lib and C:\Perl\Site\lib) seem to miss DBI.pm. I also
did the search in parent directory c:\Perl but could not find DBI.pm
anywhere. Could be that DBI.pm module never got installed or got deleted by
some other user accidentally.
Can you please suggest how can I fix this problem? Do I need to install DBI
module again and if that is the case which version would it be and where can
I install it from? Or better would be installing absolute new version of
Perl?
*Also, following is what I tried in command line to install but didn't work:
*

Subject: Question regarding DBI.pm for Perl, v5.6.1 built for MSWin32-x86 on
Windows 2003.
To: dbi-users@perl.org
Hello,
I have a question regarding DBI.pm and hoping you will be able to help me
with an answer. I am working with a perl script and when I tried executing
the script, I got a syntax error: Can't locate DBI.pm in @INC. I checked the
directories in @INC array and both the directories (C:\Perl\lib and
C:\Perl\Site\lib) seem to miss DBI.pm. I also did the search in parent
directory c:\Perl but could not find DBI.pm anywhere. Could be that DBI.pm
module never got installed or got deleted by some other user accidentally.
Can you please suggest how can I fix this problem? Do I need to install DBI
module again and if that is the case which version would it be and where can
I install it from? I am using Perl, v5.6.1 built for
MSWin32-x86-multi-thread on Windows 2003.
Thanks much in advance for being so kind to help.
