Activestate has a nice gui for installing perl modules on a windows
box. I use it when I'm on a computer that has no compiler (a hate in
itself) and generally im happy with it.

Except today.

I was foolish enough to upgrade DBD::File before noticing that I
should upgrade DBI.

The problem being that DBI includes DBD::File, and since its a
slightly older version than the one in DBI ppm refuses to upgrade DBI.
Theres no way to force the upgrade and then upgrade DBD::File after.
You have to remove DBD::File, then upgrade DBI, then upgrade
DBD::File.

Stupid hateful software.
