Hello,
I want to use the GDBM_File module, and need some more help.

I went through the ActiveState Archives and found a link to a roth site, in 
an email. http://www.roth.net/perl/GDBM_File.htm
So I went and downloaded the module. After I extracted it with WinZip, (I 
can't use PPM because of our firewall.); Anyway, there was a readme in 
there that states the following:
INSTALL A
    - IF you are using the ActiveState version of Win32 Perl (pre 5.005):
        a) Copy the GDBM_File.pm file into the directory perl\lib\
        b) Rename the file GDBM_File_XXX.PLL to GDBM_File.PLL 
        c) Make a directory: perl\lib\auto\GDBM_File\
        d) Copy the GDBM_File.PLL file into the directory in step c
INSTALL B
    - IF you are using the core distribution of Win32 Perl:
        a) Copy the GDBM_File.pm file into the directory perl\lib\
        b) Rename the file GDBM_File_CORE.DLL to GDBM_File.DLL
        c) Make a directory: perl\lib\auto\GDBM_File\
        d) Copy the GDBM_File.DLL file into the directory in step c


When I do a perl -V
it says (5.0 patchlevel 5 subversion 03)
@INC:
C:/Perl/lib
C:/Perl/site/lib
and a lot of other stuff.


Anyway, I followed the install A to a T, but I am getting errors in my web 
page.

My code just says use GDBM_File;

And produces this error below:
[Thu May 25 15:57:27 2000] D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\main\lb.pl: Can't locate 
GDBM_File.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/usr/bin/Perl/lib 
C:/usr/bin/Perl/site/lib .) at d:/inetpub/wwwroot/main/outsidelb.pl line 
273. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at 
d:/inetpub/wwwroot/main/outsidelb.pl line 273.

I went to my SYSTEM/ENVIRONMENT and checked my path, and it does have 
c:\perl\lib
and 
C:\perl

So I am lost.
Also one last big one, when I installed it like this, the Help Menu does 
not show the new GDBM_File entry like when I do a ppm install?

Thanks,
If I can answer any questions I may of missed, just yell.
Thanks
Scott
