Am stuck...to say the least
I am tring to install this DM_File, but not having much luck. All i know is the ppm install thingy (am brand new to perl, and having a hard time)
When i d/l it, it had no ppm file, but its got files like dll, bs, exp, lib ect
Does anybody know how i can install this.
Thanks ppl

I've downloaded the ppd from a cpan website and modfied it

this is my version for DB_File.ppd:
<SOFTPKG NAME="DB_File" VERSION="1,75,0,0">
<TITLE>DB_File</TITLE>
<ABSTRACT />
<AUTHOR />
<IMPLEMENTATION>
<OS NAME="MSWin32" />
<ARCHITECTURE NAME="MSWin32-x86-multi-thread" />
<CODEBASE HREF="DB_File.tar.gz" />
</IMPLEMENTATION>
</SOFTPKG>

now get this DB_File.tar.gz from web and start install in ppm mit install DB_File.ppd

works for me ...
