Support,

I am running window 2000. When I install I receive the error "Could not
locate PPD file for DBI package". Where can I get this file and where
should I put it in order for the installation to work?

Thank you,

Jim Stratton

Sigh. I wish, I could have an autoresponder for that question.

See

http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/J/JW/JWIED/DBD-mysql-2.1025.r eadme

Also, please read the mail below and be so kind to send a mail
to the email address mentioned there and request that ActiveState
adds the module to its repository.

Hello Jochen,

I'm forwarding your email to the maintainer of the repository. I'm certain we
will be adding the DBD::mysql module for ActivePerl 5.8.0 in the near future.

For users of ActivePerl 5.8.0 we do provide two options.

The first is to request the package:
If you've found that the requested module is not available through PPM, PPM3
or downloadable as a .zip file, requests for PPM packages can now be
directed
to:
ppm-request@ActiveState.com

The second is to get the latest package from CPAN:
You can always get the latest packages from CPAN. Instructions on querying,
downloading and building perl modules from CPAN sites can be found here:
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Reference/Products/ActivePe rl/lib/CPAN.html

Hopefully this helps to cut down on the email traffic you are seeing and to be
certain, it's also in our interest to cut down on the amount of traffic going to
support@activestate.com regarding this and other modules.

Please let me know if you have any further comments or questions.

Best Regards,

Rod Ballingall,
