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. -- perl -Mre=debug -e "/just|another|perl|hacker/"
