Re: Perl DBI Part II - Mailing list pgsql-novice

Are you using perl on windows?  Have you used ppm?  If you are using it on windows go to a command prompt and type
ppm..you can then search and install modules from it.. after reading you message I can't tell if your using windows or
not.

I realize Perl is installed Windows side.
I don't know how to get past the make, make test, make install steps without
Cygwin...
They just don't work in DOS (obviously)!
Thanks,
Cheryl

I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum... if someone knows of a better forum
(alt.users.trying.to.run.postgres.and.perl.with.apache.on.windows doesn't
exist :D), please let me know.

Thanks to the many helpful people in this group I located the DBD::Pg files
on CPAN.
However, following the instructions for PgSimple (this is all being done on
the Cygwin side), I get an error that has stumped the one person in the
office who uses Perl. (He came up with the supremely helpful: "You're
missing the Perl module for postgresql." To which my reply is, "This IS the
Perl module for PostGresQL").

Has anyone set up this configuration? Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong
here??? (Besides trying to ignore the first error in hopes it would go
through steps 2 and 3 anyway).

I can read this and say, "Ok, it can't find Perl", but I don't know how to
tell it "hey, Perl is over here---> /Perl".

I have currently on this box:
Apache 2.0.3
Cygwin
Postgresql (runs through Cygwin)
Active Perl 5.8

[Should I have installed a different Perl through Cygwin as a LINUX build,
not through windows as Active Perl?? Would Apache and everything ELSE then
have to run through Cygwin? I can see that being an issue; on the other hand
it seems kind of a silly way to do this. Access through Windows can see
Postgresql; why can't Perl?]

Thanks,
