My company is including the installation of the DBD-Oracle and DBI Perl =
packages as part of the next scheduled release of our software, which is =
bundled with ActivePerl 5.8.3. We need to be able to install our =
software on machines that do *not* have internet access, and as part of =
the install I have a DOS batch file that turns off searching the =
ActiveState Repository:

call %1\ppm3.bat rep add xycd %2
call %1\ppm3.bat rep off ActiveState PPM2 Repository
call %1\ppm3.bat rep off ActiveState Package Repository
for %%f in (*.ppd) do call %1\ppm3.bat install %%f > %1\%%f.log 2>&1
call %1\ppm3.bat rep on ActiveState PPM2 Repository
call %1\ppm3.bat rep on ActiveState Package Repository
call %1\ppm3.bat rep delete xycd=20

However, I then get an error during the install of DBI that "Package =
'Test-Simple' not found; use 'Search' first." I find this puzzling as =
version .47 of Test-Simple that is installed as part of the 5.8.3 =
installation, and the DBI.ppd file is (if I'm understanding this =
correctly) version .4 or greater:



Has anyone else run into this? Do I need to install a different version =
of Test-Simple?

Re: Trouble installing DBI without using ActiveState Repository

Have you run 'ppm describe Test-Simple' to confirm that that is what
you actually have (or perl -MTest::Simple -e "print
$Test::Simple::VERSION" )? I can't confirm on my laptop that
Test-Simple was put in before or together with DBI, but this is a way
you can confirm that it's actually on yours.
