Hi,
Still learning Perl and need help/advice in installing DBI.pm
I have Win98 SE and am running ActivePerl. I recently came across a sample script that accesses an Access Database and creates a simpe table.
But the script fails because DBI.pm cannot be found.
I did a search in both /lib and /site/lib and I cant find it, only finds DB.pm.
How do I go about adding a new module?
Can anyone tell me where/IF exactly I can get DBI.pm and HOW/WHAT to do to install it. Basiclly, Im afraid to mess up my PC.
These are the responses when I run perl -v and perl -V....if they help.
Thanks
Evan
