Hello, I'm installing DBI in my linux box and i was experiencing the problem "Cannot locate auto/DBI/_install_me.al in @INC (@INC contains: .).. " and i found the solution in the mailing list archives as mail bellow, but now i get this new message "DBI/_install_me.al did not return a true value at ..." . and i did not find anything in the archives.
some tip or help will be appreciated Best Regards, Jose Antonio ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brilliant Michael! Thanks for that piece of information. Having looked around I found the module with its correct name. The module name for DB2 is 'dbd-db2'. Requesting this one with ppm works as expected and now my Perl w32-ix86 DBI/DB2 installation is just fine. ========================================================== This is just for other who might be curious how I did it ... Procedure to activate dbi and db2 modules in an ActivePerl installation: 1) Connect to the internet and make sure you can see www.activestate.com 2) From a command line interface(DOS box), type ppm 3) type 'install dbi' Now you need to wait a bit because data is being downloaded When this has finished, successfully, you need to do the same with the DB2 module 4) type 'install dbd-db2' Wait again for the successful installation ... 5) Test your installation with a similar script like below > I have Perl 5.6 from Active State, I used PPM to download and install > the files > for Perl DBI and Perl DBD and DB2. When I run a perl program to access > my Mysql database I can't get past the "use DBI". First there was a > strict variable > problem in DBI, so I copied DBI to DBI2 and then I commented those > variables out in DBI2 and changed my program to use DBI2 > > Then the problem I cannot figure out, I get this response: > Cannot locate auto/DBI/_install_me.al in @INC (@INC contains: .)..
