ftp.esoftmatic.com should be back up now... I had a UPS die badly and since died, the original server stopped working.
Please let me know on the dbi-users mailing list if you have issues. Also, since the original announcement, I have upgraded to DBI version 1.40, DBD-Oracle 1.15 and added DBD-DB2. Also note that if you get DBD-xxx from my site, I strongly recommend you get DBI from my site too. At the very least, make sure you are running the same DBI that I'm running. I've restructured a bit and am basing the directory structure upon the perl version, not the AS build number. 808 reports as 5.8.2, so ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI/5.8.2 Contains all the 5.8.2 specific versions. You may directly download all the files in that directory (say: c:\tmp) and run the following commands from your command prompt: ppm install c:\tmp\DBI.ppd ppm install c:\tmp\DBD-ODBC.ppd ppm install c:\tmp\DBD-Oracle.ppd ppm install c:\tmp\DBD-DB2.ppd The following command lines should also work for those directly connected to the net...see ActiveState's documentation on PPM regarding proxies, etc, if this doesn't work: ppm install ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI/5.8.2/DBI.ppd ppm install ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI/5.8.2/DBD-Oracle.ppd ppm install ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI/5.8.2/DBD-ODBC.ppd ppm install ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI/5.8.2/DBD-DB2.ppd I *still* have plans for building more modules, but I haven't gotten to them yet. I've just made it easier to build and put them up on my site, so that's a step. Some of the other modules require database software, which may be an issue. I do plan on looking into some obvious modules, but...my time is limited. Regards, Jeff
