Not able to install Bundle::DBI on windows machine

[shrek123]

Hi,
I am trying to install DBI bundle on my windows machine.
It is giving me following error while i am running Makefile.pl.

*** You are using a perl configured with threading enabled.

*** Note:
The optional PlRPC-modules (RPC::PlServer etc) are not installed.
If you want to use the DBD::Proxy driver and DBI::ProxyServer
modules, then you'll need to install the RPC::PlServer, RPC::PlClie
Storable and Net::Daemon modules. The CPAN Bundle::DBI may help you
You can install them any time after installing the DBI.
You do *not* need these modules for typical DBI usage.

Optional modules are available from any CPAN mirror, in particular

*** You're using Microsoft Visual C++ compiler or similar but
the LIB and INCLUDE environment variables are not both set.

You need to run the VCVARS32.BAT batch file that was supplied
with the compiler before you can use it.

A copy of vcvars32.bat can typically be found in the following
directories under your Visual Studio install directory:
Visual C++ 6.0: vc98\bin
Visual Studio .NET: vc7\bin

Find it, run it, then retry this.

If you think this error is not correct then just set the LIB and
INCLUDE environment variables to some value to disable the check.

Please let me know, what I need to do.
I didn't have visual c++ or vsual studio installed on my machine.

Thanks for looking into the issue.

Well, sometimes you can never tell what Micro$oft puts in their software. Out of curiosity, did you search and see if you could find the mentioned file, "VCVARS32.BAT"? If it is there, run it, then try re-running the installation.

BTW, what version of Perl on Windows are you using? Active State or Strawberry Perl? Just curious. I noticed you are actually building the modules from scratch. If you are using Active State, why not just install the Bundle::DBI from the PPM? It would be much easier. If you are using Strawberry Perl, you could use the standard CPAN interface to install the modules.

I didn't find "VCVARS32.BAT" anywhere on my machine. (strange)

I have Active state perl installed on my machine.I tried ppm but with failure :(

What were the errors when you tried to install via PPM?
