Hi, The .ppd files are in fact XML-files - what you are shown when clicking on the link is textual content!
Note, that http://www.cedet.dk/perl is NOT as such a ppm repository, so you need to download the file to your local disk (right click on the link and choose save target as... (or similar)). Try following the howto http://www.cedet.dk/perl/#howto - it has worked for me in the past. HTH, Michael Garfield Sørensen, CeDeT -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Cole, Ben [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sendt: 9. maj 2006 16:45 Til: dbi-users@perl.org Emne: DBD-Oracle.ppd Hello, I have been desperately searching for a 5.8.* DBD-Oracle.ppd for quite some time now. The machine on which I need to install it has no internet connection. From what I can tell ftp.esoftmatic.com no longer exists, and Ive been looking on http://www.cedet.dk/perl/, but for some reason the .ppd links for DBD-Oracle do not work, they simply give me this email address. Any assistance you can provide would be much appreciated. Ben
