DBI Error: no suitable installation target

When attempting to install DBI, I get the following error message:

Error: no suitable installation target found for package DBI.

From the command prompt (WinXP), I type 'ppm'.

From the ppm shell, I type 'install DBI', and after a few seconds, the error
message appears.

My Perl installation is ActivePerl-5.6.1.638-MSWin32-x86.

Can anyone please help me understand how to get past this problem?

Thanks very much,
Sean

I had 2 versions of ActivePerl installed. I uninstalled both of them, then
reinstalled 5.8.6.811, then DBI installed fine.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
