Hello.

I just installed perl 5.8.7 from active state. (I need to write perl
scripts that run against DB2 databases on Windows platform).

=20

I then tried to run: ppm install
ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI/5.8.4/DBI.ppd but I get the
following back:

=20

C:\Perl\bin>ppm install
ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI/5.8.4/DBI.ppd

Error: No valid repositories:

Error: 500 Server closed connection without sending any data back

Error: 500 Server closed connection without sending any data back

I was going to run that and then run: ppm install
ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI/5.8.4/DBD-DB2.ppd
=20

but don't understand what the error means? Can someone please help?

Thanks,

Bob

Re: error while trying to install DBI

Strange -- just tried the exact same commands here and they worked as
expected. Maybe there was a temporary FTP server glitch.

Are you able to see the ftp.esoftmatic.com site?
