I can run this simple script through perl itself, but when I put it in the
cgi-bin and try to run it using mod_perl Perl pops up in windows with an
error. I assume this means I need something like Apache::DBI?... I
originally got Apache in binary form with mod_perl installed and did not
have to compile anything. I tried to follow the instructions but i dont
seem to be able to build Apache::DBI
I ran
perl makefile.pl which creates a file called makefile
then the instructions tell you to run
make
make test
make install
make by run by itself says 'No terminator specified for in-line operator'
and i dont have a test or install file that came with the Apache:DBI
download. I have a test.pl but that doesnt seem to be what i need. I am
running Win 98se if that helps. Anyone have any suggestions?
Here is the code I tried to run.
#!\perl\bin\perl
use DBI;
$dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:ODBC:Test1Db');
$sqlstatement="SELECT * FROM ASTAB";
$sth = $dbh->prepare($sqlstatement);
$sth->execute ||
die "Could not execute SQL statement ... maybe invalid?";
#output database results
while (@row=$sth->fetchrow_array)
{ print "@row\n" }
