Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing Makefile for Apache::DBI
-- OK
Running make test
'test' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
test -- NOT OK
Running make install
make test had returned bad status, won't install without force

Thats because you are not installing the right file, the right way :)

D:\Perl\bin> ppm install DBI

I did try that way, installed successfully, but still dun work, I found out that it's the active perl version, got back to a lower version, and workright, thx paul anyway!

Why didn't it work....what errors did you see?

That way above is the correct way if using activestate's perl port.

Yes everything worked successfully, DB generated that what it said, but however Links Sql setup just keeping telling me to install DBi mod when i did already, but this is fine when i use active perl 5.005 instead of the newest version!

Install DBI using the correct perl version.

perl[version] -MCPAN -e 'install DBI'


Where [version] is 5.6.1 or whatever, that way it will be added into the right lib tree.

Did tried the different perl versions, but still failed:)

Are you using windows or linux?....what perl binaries are installed?

Your tip helped fix a problem I was having getting File::Find::Rule to install.

Thank you!!
Reaction time is a factor in this, so please pay attention.
