use PPM to install perl modules on windows. The instrucation are included with activestate perl distribution or you can read them on their website.

Hi rag84dec,

Unfortunately, I do not really have anything to add to this discussion. It might be something with your specific environment. It might be with your installation of ActiveState. It might be with your setup of the ppm. Do have have repositories configured?

Setting up a programming environment is not something that is easy to diagnose remotely. There are just too many variables. Even with helpful error messages, it's often the one thing that you don't share that is the problem.

All I can share with you is my experience with the ppm. I run the gui. Once it loads up I right click on any module and select "Install BLAH". I then do File->Run Marked Actions, and the package is installed without any further effort on my part.

I once added some repositories to the default listing, but I just used the ones provided in the link above. As far as what your problem is, I can't even begin to guess. Just know that the ppm is supposed to make this extremely easy, so if it's not, then "something" isn't right.

Good Luck,
- Miller

Jeez.. I don't think IBM could make it any harder to try to find the download you need for connecting PHP (either via DB2, or ODBC) to DB2. I'm working on a "proof of concept" with a friend to show a company that they don't have to jump into some seriously expensive software in order to do simple things like a DB2 query *gasp*, and display it on a webpage. We can access the system via ODBC from thier local Win32 ODBC, but for the gods...

Hi all I am using odbc from win32 extensions to connect to MS SQL Server. I use mx.DateTime to handle dates. When I select a datetime column from the database, odbc returns something called a DbiDate object. I cannot find out any information on this type, but mx can convert it to a mx.DateTime object using DateTimeFrom(), which is really all that I need. I am looking into changing from mx.DateTime to using the builtin

Hi all I am using win32 odbc to connect to SQL Server. I have just started using the 'bit' data type, which is a boolean type which can store 1 or 0. This works with win32, but it returns '1' or '0'. Obviously I can change it to an int, but it would be nicer and more correct if it returned an int in the first place.

Hi all I have found a problem using MS Sql Server connecting via the odbc module from python-win32. I am liaising with Mark Hammond, and he is trying to help, but he is very busy, and I cannot be certain whether the problem originates with the odbc module, with the ODBC Driver, or with Sql Server itself. If anyone can help me to pinpoint this, I will be very grateful.

Hi there, I am using Perl 5.8 with Apache 2.2 on Win XP SP2, all configured and working fine. I am able to run perl programs from command prompt.

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,...
