I have installed ActivePerl-5.6.1.638-MSWin32-x86 in my Windows-Xp system. =
I
have to install perl DBI on it. I dont have Internet connection. i
downloaded the DBI-1.50.tar from the net and unzipped and saved in a
location. when i try to type the command "Install dbi" in the PPM> it gives
the "error cannot locate .PPD file." like this. I am new to perl but i want
to install the Perl DBI. What should i do if i want to install the perl dbi
in my system. Tell it step by step procedure that i want to do.

Re: Reg: Installing Perl DBI

Look at ActiveStates Website for PPD packages. (You could also compile
and install the packages from CPAN yourself, but you usually do not want
that.)

For Perl 5.6, use
http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/6xx-builds-only/
For Perl 5.8, use
http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/8xx-builds-only/ Windows/

Download the ZIP files you need (at least DBI-something.zip and
DBD-yourdatabase-something.zip), unpack them and follow the instructions
found in the README file inside the ZIP file.

You should also read the documentation of PPM, usually found in
c:\perl\html\bin\ppm.html

If you had an internet connection, PPM could automatically download the
files you need.
