Hi :
Thanks a bunch. For the first module, I would do -
install dbi
For the second module for the Open DB Connectivity , will I do something
similar like this ? -
install dbd::odbc
"need to create an ODBC data source referring to the database file" - could you
please explain this ? does it mean creating a db and populating tables?
I appreciate all the help I get from this discussion group.

1) You need two modules: DBI and DBD::ODBC
2) You need to create an ODBC data source referring to the database
file.
3) Connect to the database like this:
$dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:ODBC:$DSN_NAME")
or die "Couldn't connect to $DSN_NAME: $DBI::errstr\n\n";
# where $DSN_NAME is the name of the ODBC data source
# you created in step 2

Because ppm needs a net connection so it can download the module for you
