Hello,

I have a question regarding DBI.pm and hoping you will be able to help me
with an answer. Issue is with the DBI module for Perl, v5.6.1 built for
MSWin32-x86-multi-thread on Windows 2003. I am getting a syntax error: Can't
locate DBI.pm in @INC. I checked the directories in @INC array and both the
directories (C:\Perl\lib and C:\Perl\Site\lib) seem to miss DBI.pm. I also
did the search in parent directory c:\Perl but could not find DBI.pm
anywhere. Could be that DBI.pm module never got installed or got deleted by
some other user accidentally.

Can you please suggest how can I fix this problem? Do I need to install DBI
module again and if that is the case which version would it be and where can
I install it from? Or better would be installing absolute new version of
Perl?

*Also, following is what I tried in command line to install but didn't work:
*
