Therefore it didn't see DBI 1.601. I had to force DBD-ODBC to install with:</p> <p><code class="geshifilter">ppm install dbd-odbc.ppd --nodeps</code></p> <p>It's working normally now.</p> Mon, 28 Apr 2008 23:56:20 +0100 JTB comment 5233 at http://community.activestate.com http://community.activestate.com/forum-topic/dbd-odbc-and-dbi-1-21 <p>I've been forced to upgrade a server to Perl 5.10 to make it work with other modules. This machine is behind a firewall, and PPM cannot be made to work. I've had to download and install about 30 modules by hand, and have resolved all issues except one. DBD-ODBC is the last I need, and I'm stumped.</p> <p>The issue is DBD-ODBC's requirement for DBI 1.21. A scan of these forums indicates that this is a popular problem. I've looked in the folders of downloadable zips for all Perl releases, and 1.21 does not exist. I've found:</p> <p>5xx - 1.14<br /> 6xx - 1.34, 1.35, 1.37, 1.48<br /> 8xx - 1.35 - 1.602<br /> 10xx - 1.602</p> <p>What to do? I just attempted to download DBI 1.21 from CPAN and build it using NMAKE, but that just failed. Big surprise.</p> http://community.activestate.com/forum-topic/dbd-odbc-and-dbi-1-21#comments ActivePerl Support Windows 2000 Pro / Server Tue, 22 Apr 2008 22:15:30 +0100 JTB 2230 at http://community.activestate.com
