Hi Ed, I had a similar problem with the Sybase module, and I went back to perl 5.6.1.
The Sybase module says it needs perl 5.6 libraries (somehow) so it fails. Until someone compiles a 5.8 specific version (not me, don't have the time!) you'll have to use ODBC, or use 5.6. (This is in XP BTW) Regards Phil Has anyone installed ActiveState Perl 5.8.0 Build 805? I did on a test machine, and installed the DBI package with the PPM3 interface. It could not locate the DBD-DB2 package. When I added the 'repository' for DBD-DB2, PPM refused to install it for binary incompatibility. I've been using these modules under 5.6.1 Build 633 (635 has similar install issues with DBD-DB2). I can't find any notes on why it changed. Anyone know why/how? How do I install DBD-DB2 in this new version of perl?
