Hi Folks,
The problem: I've written a web site thinking that DBI and DBD were
standard. Now I find they are not and the ISP will not load them for
everyone to use :(. This is my first venture into PERL so I don't know
what I'm doing.
I need to load the DBD, DBI and CSV drivers into the web site's private
space. It is a virtual server.
I've used FindBin to find the CGI-BIN directory, and created a sub-
directory under it (perl) for the DBD and DBI modules.
into this directory I have placed the following files.
DBI.pm
DBI\DBD.pm
DBD\CSV.pm
SQL\statement.pm
SQL\eval.pm
SQL\STATEMENT\hash.pm
TEXT\CSV_XS.pm
These are, I think, all the dependant modules that I need.
My code finds the DBI module but fails to load something and omits to
tell me what it is. :(
The screen returned is
Software error:
Can't locate loadable object for module DBI in @INC (@INC contains:
C:/Xitami/cgi-bin/perl C:/Perl/lib C:/Perl/site/lib .) at C:/Xitami/cgi-
bin/perl/DBI.pm line 182
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/Xitami/cgi-bin/perl/DBI.pm line
182.
Compilation failed in require at C:\Xitami\cgi-bin\page.pl line 28.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:\Xitami\cgi-bin\page.pl line 28.
Line 28 is my "use DBI;" line.
Line 182 is the end of the BEGIN block. There is a comment here about
this being caused by the drivers not being installed properly. It points
me to the readme and suggests I re-install. After wading through the
readmes for all these modules, I am none the wiser about how to fix my
problem.
Help please!
Am I missing a file? Have I placed one in the wrong place?
The system is aimed eventually at a Win2K server. I'm testing using
win2k and xitami.

Ian Hobson
