Another angle I was thinking about, to solving this problem, was installing perl from scratch, on one of my "non-work" PCs as an experiment. However, it looks like there are two options to install Perl - Active State and Strawberry. I have windows at home - well, windows home & work. So, if my goal is to easily install modules - like the DBD JDBC, it seems like Active State is the way to go if you have windows. My home PC would have the a more recent version of Perl - with active state, would it be as simple as double clicking on the PPM batch, doing a search on the DBD JDBC module, clicking on install, and installing the module? I know with other modules in the past - that is all that I had to do. When I took this approach, on my work computer(which is using an older version of Perl) - I didn't see the DBD::OJBC module.

with active state, would it be as simple as double clicking on the PPM batch, doing a search on the DBD JDBC module, clicking on install, and installing the module? No - they don't use PPM any more. I gather you follow some procedure whereby you request of ActiveState that they provide you with the module you want, and they oblige if they can. Update: see https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=11145868 With StrawberryPerl you would just run: `cpan -I DBD::JDBC` [download] On my StrawberryPerl-5.32.1 that firstly installs the prerequisite Convert::BER. But DBD::JDBC fails some tests, so the install is aborted. Those tests apparently fail because java.exe cannot be found: t/00-load.t ..... 1/? # Testing DBD::JDBC 0.72, Perl 5.032001, C:\_64\ +strawberry -5.32.1-PDL\perl\bin\perl.exe t/00-load.t ..... ok t/01_env.t ...... ok t/02_connect.t .. 1/5 Cannot find java.exe in the following directorie +s: C:\_64\strawberry-5.32.1-PDL\perl\site\bin C:\_64\strawberry-5.32.1-PDL\perl\bin C:\_64\strawberry-5.32.1-PDL\c\bin C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\iCLS Client\ C:\Program Files\Intel\iCLS Client\ C:\Windows\system32 C:\Windows C:\Windows\System32\Wbem C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\ C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\DAL C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\IPT C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components +\DAL C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components +\IPT C:\batch C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Shared C:\Program Files\dotnet\ Terminating. # Failed test 'server started' # at t/02_connect.t line 25. # Server failed to start; remaining tests will fail # Looks like you failed 1 test of 5. t/02_connect.t ..

I expect that ActiveState would experience the very same test failures with their building of DBD::JDBC - unless, of course, they have a java.exe in one of the locations that is searched. I don't know how they would respond to that. Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Yahoo, finally am making some progress. I was able to do a force install - it looks like I learned a few items. When running cpan with strawberry perl - if you go to the start menu, and you'll see an icon that says perl command - that is where you'll want to run. Also - running cpan -I DBD::JDBC will not work on windows, nor will cpan -fi DBD::JDBC - rather running the following appears to work: CPAN> install DBD::JDBC CPAN> force install DBD::JDBC The full word "install" & "force" need to be typed out. So, I still need to look into - but am getting closer.	[reply]

Looking at CPAN requirements, it says to install the following: Java Virtual Machine compatible with JDK 1.4 A JDBC driver If I install the the java JDK - would that satisfy all of these requirements? The Java Virtual Machine & the JDBC driver?	[reply]

Hi, I installed Strawberry Perl, then I ran the following command: `C:\Users\pMalle001>cpan -I DBD::JDBC` However, it looked like it errored, and referenced an older version of Perl, the `C:\Perl_New\cpan\sources\authors\01mailrc.txt.gz.tmp10428'` How can I make sure that it references the Strawberry Perl, and not the `C:\Perl_New`?
