Thread: DBD and DBI::Pg
Our site (www.dagl.net) has recently been given the task of beta testing a new statistics program for our Quake 3 game servers... This new program is called "GeigerCounter - RC5", in case any of you have experience with it... However, I am only a newbie at PostgreSQL and PHP, so I don't know what I should do first. I am hoping someone out there can help me. Here are the requirements of the program: -A Quake3Arena server HAVE IT -An SQL database compatable with Perl:DBI:DBD and PHP4 CURRENTLY RUNNING PostgreSQL, but HAVE NOT INSTALLED DBI::DBD -Perl RUNNING PERL 5 -DBI:DBD Mod for Perl I'M LOST ON THIS ONE -A web server that works with PHP HAVE IT -PHP4 HAVE IT Graphinat0r requires: -GD.pm LOST ON THIS AS WELL I know I will owe a biggie tip after this, but I hope someone can help... Thanks

You can find them at www.perl.com. Alternatively, you can use the CPAN module (which should have come with your installation of Perl) to install them: shell$ perl -MCPAN -eshell and "install DBD::Pg" and so on. Lots of info on the Perl web pages, or in "Programming the Perl DBI" (O'Reilly). -- Joel Burton <jburton@scw.org> Director of Information Systems, Support Center of Washington
Install DBI and DBD::Pg modules for perl. You can download them from www.cpan.org and then follow the installations instructions. It is also preferable by us and everyone else that you not cross post your question to 50 different groups. Please keep on topic. In DBI case dbi-dev@perl.org could of been eliminated, and I am sure many other groups should of not go this post either.
