hoew to install DBI module
how to install it to WIN platform?
in read me:
Read the DBI README then Build/test/install the DBI by doing
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
Im do it,but it said:
*** Note:
The optional PlRPC-modules (RPC::PlServer etc) are not installed.
If you want to use the DBD::Proxy driver and DBI::ProxyServer
modules, then you'll need to install the RPC::PlServer, RPC::PlClient,
Storable and Net::Daemon modules. The CPAN Bundle::DBI may help you.
You can install them any time after installing the DBI.
You do *not* need these modules for typical DBI usage.

Note (probably harmless): No library found for 'oldnames.lib'
Note (probably harmless): No library found for 'kernel32.lib'
Note (probably harmless): No library found for 'user32.lib'
....

Windows users need to use the correct make command.
That may be nmake or dmake depending on which Perl you are using.
If using the Win32 ActiveState build then it is recommended that you
use the ppm utility to fetch and install a prebuilt DBI instead.

Help please to install it

Use ActiveState Perl
http://www.activestate.com

to install modules with activestate, just go to a DOS prompt and type
ppm install <module name>
if you are not sure of the name you can just type
ppm
and go into the ppm shell. then type
search <what you think the module is called>
and it will display all matching results.
i.e.
PPM>search DBI
returns
DBI [1.14] Database independent interface for Perl
PPM>
so now i type
PPM>install DBI
and it downloads and installs the latest DBI module.

(the PPM> is just showing you the prompt you should see, don't type it)
