Hi,

To see installed modules, or install new modules, use PPM (for ActiveState
Perl).  At the PPM prompt, type "?" for help.  Use "query" to see installed
modules (or I prefer to just look in the c:\perl\site\lib directory which
.pm files are there).  Use "install" to install a new module, e.g.
PPM> install DBD-ODBC

The documentation for DBD::ODBC lists only Windows under supported
platforms.

Hi!

I am new to Perl CGI programming and have been researching what is
needed to write a scipt to connect to an Access DB. What I have noticed
so far is the recommended perl modules are DBD::ODBC and/or Win32::ODBC
- is this correct? The only complication I can see arising is that the
module I select would need to work on both Win 2000 and UNIX platforms,
so would the DBD::ODBC module be the choice?

Also, how do I go about finding out what modules are already on my
computer - I am not certain if how I went about my search was correct?
In the command prompt I entered:

find `perl -e `print "@INC"'` -name `*.pm' -print

The response was:
File not found - `*.pm'
