PPM is not supported by p5p, it is an ActiveState product. Please contact ActiveState with this issue. As an alternative you may try the CPAN shell which ships with perl and IS supported by p5p. "perl -MCPAN -e shell" I'm feeling generous so let's have a look at your problem... > > Running make install > > Installing /usr/share/man/man3/DBD::CSV.3pm > > Installing /usr/share/man/man3/Bundle::DBD::CSV.3pm > > Writing /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/ > > DBD/CSV/.packlist > > Appending installation info to /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.1/i386-linux-thread- > > multi/perllocal.pod Note that things went into /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/... > > but still when I try to run a CSV DBI called listcsv.pl I get the > > following errors: > > > install_driver(CSV) failed: Can't locate loadable object for module > > DBD::CSV in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.1/i386-linux- > > thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.1 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.1 / > > usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/ > > perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/ > > perl5/5.8.1/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.1 .) at (eval > > 1) line 3 > > Compilation failed in require at (eval 1) line 3.

Bundle::DBI installs DBI, DBI::Shell, Storable, Net::Daemon, RPC::PIServer and DBD::Multiplex. http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBI/lib/Bundle/DBI.pm If you don't need those extra modules, don't install Bundle::DBI. > > 2.
