Re: Question regarding DBI.pm for Perl, v5.6.1 built for MSWin32-x86 on Windows 2003.

I don't know why PPM wouldn't be able to install DBI.  You'd have a
better chance of finding the solution if you asked on the activeperl
mailing list:

http://code.activestate.com/lists/activeperl/

The members of that list would have experience with PPM.
