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. -----Original Message----- From: Sharon Weis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 01, 2001 9:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Newbie - .mdb requirements 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' _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Web mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/perl-win32-web
