Hi guys,
I am installing Perl 618 on an NT machine.
I then downloaded the DBD-ODBC.zip file from the
6xx zip repository.
I extracted the zip file's contents to the C:\Perl drive.
I then typed:
PPM install DBD-ODBC.ppd
I got an error message that I don't understand and
don't know what to do about.
See below the dump of the session.
Thanks
Peter Stucki
